#3090 closed enhancement (invalid)

Support for arguments on intermediate tag tokens (ex. {% if arg %}{% elif arg %}{% endif %}) — at Version 12

Description (last modified by Russell Keith-Magee)

Currently the template functionality prevents creation of tags which have intermediate tags requiring arguments.

For instance:

{% myif arg %}
  first block
{% elif arg %}  <-- current version would fail to parse this correctly because of the arg
  second block
{% endmyif %}

The attached patch removes this restriction.

I added a similar patch before stumbling on this ticket.

I took the liberty of marking mine as a duplicate: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3100

Hi, Eric:

I checked your patch, it's very similar with mine. And I hope the patch can be accepted.

The tag presented in this snippet at djangosnippets seems to show that what you want is possible. Closing "worksforme".

I would like to see this change. The snippet mentioned uses multiple templatetags, and would need more to support 'default' or 'else'. http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/967/ shows a way to achieve this, but it's a hack that would be unnecessary with this patch.

Since the patch is so simple - it's clear by inspection that the reordering can't break anything (unless someone attempts to 'parse_until' an empty block tag) - I would really like to see its inclusion.

Following discussion on django-developers, it looks like this ticket may have been closed in error - the snippet may solve the same problem (elseif/case), but doesn't address the core issue of the ticket. The description on #3100, which was closed as a duplicate of this ticket, is much more enlightening as to the actual problem. To that end, I've reopened #3100.
