Excellent. Thanks ( I hadn't considered using 'level' ) To expand this however, should I them wish to further parse child-elements, or maybe deeper, into separate files, how would I best go about this ?

I possibly naively considered the approach :

Parse the twig.

then, for ( various 'xpaths' )

jump to element, print 'absolute' recursive output for element

remove element

done

I suppose I am looking to 'move around' my parsed twig, but without using a handler, in my mind this would maybe give me more flexibility.

Is this possible, and / or unwise ?
