I think html-template really needs a templ_equal tag. I am trying to pre-select an option inside a select tag, based on parameters passed. Since the option tags are also being generated through a loop, I think there is no way I can do this unless I can have some comparison mechanism within the template. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
You can use parameters passed while generating data to fill the template. And set some variable to T at some particular loop step. That variable will be NIL at all other steps.
Then in the template use <tmpl_if> to emit "selected" inside <option>s.
In this way your template and data are still completely separate. It is GOOD THING. But with any kind of <tmpl_equal> they will not.
