[Templates] pre-compiling templates

[allan]

i guess its in the manual or somewhere in the gzipped mailing list...

bascially how do you pre-compile your templates?

from the command line with tpage or is it possible via a browser?

i had hoped that when hitting a cgi-page from a browser the first time
it would write a compiled version of the template and then use that on
any subsequent request [untill the original template changed timestamp]

the following is from a normal CGI, number 1 works as expected with no
pre-compiling; number 2 produces an empty screen and nothing in my
error log.



thanks
