Re^3: Output should have multiple segments

$m->notes is very useful.

That said, I dislike & mistrust using Mason's filter stuff, though there are times & ways in which I think it is the most expedient option.

I guess `notes` was added after the books were written. It's basically global variables that don't need to be declared. Handy to have a component "return" the generated text but still be able to present values back to the caller. Gee, I thought that was all evil stuff? Making it seem new again for a new generation! I've not used Filter yet, but I'm less concerned if filtering individual components such as to mark the current page in a navigation menu, because you can be sure what to expect in the text to grep. —John	[reply] [d/l]
