Re: wml with scripting languages

[Afam Agbodike <nospam@thanx>]

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think that's necessary... It seems
that wml only replaces the backslashes in the php scripts... so not
every single page needs to be changed... only pages with backslashes...

Plus, I'd rather work with a pristine version of the code... since it
will simplify upgrades.

I guess I'll have to live with the protect tag :-)
