Hi all, I'm pleased to announce the new release (v1.7.0) of the Sempare Template Engine. It has been a while, and thought I'd just remind any users here about the project. Also included are some demos... for apps in general, there is a new helper class TTemplateRegistry, which should make things much easier to just get going and supports template reloading without restarting the app and can load templates from file, resources, or custom a loader. This takes some of the grunt work out of working with templates, besides just using them. More information is available in the docs on the repo. Some simple examples are provided to illustrate server side scripting. If you have any suggestions, or see any gaps, please feel free to provide comments on the issue tracker. - Demo using the Horse framework - Demo using WebBroker standalone console app New features: - improved support for comments - extends/block template support - improved whitespace removal - renamed demo app to Sempare Template Engine Playground - a useful tool for testing language features / templates. - added the Sempare.Template.RCGenerator project to help with creating resource rc files by scanning directories. - support multiple statements in a script block. e.g. <% print('a'); print('b') %> - additional context configuration - improved docs (improved navigation and added railroad diagrams to illustrate the grammar) Older release notes can be viewed on the releases page. Have fun.

Instead of these hacks, why don't you just disable scroll bars by CSS?

But - there are other uses than generating code - namely analyzing it. https://betterprogramming.pub/i-used-gpt-3-to-find-213-security-vulnerabilities-in-a-single-codebase-cc3870ba9411

If it's possible, I'd reflect that radiobuttoned option to config according to its meaning, i.e. not a set of flags but an index from a list of choices.

looks a bit fishy...

Never. Why? Mining. I doubt all bad algo's in the world together eat as much power as mining.

Object references are pointers. That was the whole point and the failure to understand that was the cause of the problem. Apart from that, I agree that most people probably rarely, if ever, use them directly. Sure but it's an important data structure to know. Would you hire a developer who couldn't create a linked list? I know I wouldn't. That really depends on what you do and how you do it. Common? Yes. Most common? Not a chance. I can't remember when I last used a TStringList and I do a lot of string processing and UI stuff. I certainly wouldn't use it to handle CSV files. There's far too much of the format it can't handle properly. While I agree with this, it's not advice I would give a beginner. There are more important things to learn in the beginning and that one will just get in the way of that.

I'd just read them using the UTF8 encoding in the first place and so never ever see these characters. I'm sure you would too.

Habits and expectations differ, so setting this option to ones personal favor is not bad in the first place. There is only one thing to remember when switching that off: The project desktops are opened in the state they were last saved. To solve your problem: switch this option on load a project close all forms close the project switch option off again
