[stringtemplate-interest] [ST4 Beta-4] Retrieving version information

[Udo Borkowski]

Hi,

what about providing "version information" to be used in a template? 

I got this idea because I was using an older version of the engine (Beta3 instead of Beta4) without noticing.


One could then use this information e.g. to include a text like

	"(Rendered with StringTemplate 4.0 Beta-4)"

into generated web pages etc.


One way to achieve this without adding "build-in" attributes etc. could be extending the class ST.

E.g. add the following method to the class ST:

	
	public String getVersionText() {
		return "StringTemplate 4.0 Beta-4";
	}


Then one could use

		(Rendered with <{ }.versionText>)

in a template to render

		(Rendered with StringTemplate 4.0 Beta-4)
