{% ssi %} should take variable as argument

[msw@…]

In documentation thereis only one method to use SSI in templates:
{% ssi /home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html %}
I have necessity to use it in this format
{% ssi variable %}
but i bug in this... - nothing happened...
even use {% ssi {{ variable }} %} has same results...
so only directly path is be fit :(
I think you can do more generalise, like {% include template_name %}
Am i right? ;-)

This would have to be a backwards-incompatible change, as we'd start requiring that hard-coded strings would have quotes around them.

[Simon G. <dev@…>]

To avoid the backwards incompt. issue, would it be possible to check if the string is a variable first, before taking it as a string? (e.g. like the other template variables fall through objects/dictionaries/lists/etc)

I think the plan is to make ssi go the way of the dodo, so I'm going to mark this wontfix (you can always use include to the same effect).

@jacob : with include it is only possible to include files that lie in "templates/" directories. It is not always possible to use it to get the same effect.
