attributes: Replace element attributes Syntax 'tal:attributes' syntax:: argument ::= attribute_statement [';' attribute_statement]* attribute_statement ::= attribute_name expression attribute_name ::= [namespace ':'] Name namespace ::= Name *Note: If you want to include a semi-colon (;) in an 'expression', it must be escaped by doubling it (;;).* Description The 'tal:attributes' statement replaces the value of an attribute (or creates an attribute) with a dynamic value. You can qualify an attribute name with a namespace prefix, for example 'html:table', if you are generating an XML document with multiple namespaces. The value of each expression is converted to a string, if necessary. If the expression associated with an attribute assignment evaluates to *nothing*, then that attribute is deleted from the statement element. If the expression evaluates to *default*, then that attribute is left unchanged. Each attribute assignment is independent, so attributes may be assigned in the same statement in which some attributes are deleted and others are left alone. If you use 'tal:attributes' on an element with an active 'tal:replace' command, the 'tal:attributes' statement is ignored. If you use 'tal:attributes' on an element with a 'tal:repeat' statement, the replacement is made on each repetition of the element, and the replacement expression is evaluated fresh for each repetition.
