I like the idea of the flag as it would allow to keep the code separate from the current notices code and to have a clean start, while we can be pretty sure that the old code still remains working as before. The current syntax is not very consistent across the different notices - <<items.content>>, ----, <item></item>... or in which tables/columns can be included. It would be nice to gain some consistency with this development :) Katrin Am 03.02.2016 um 20:04 schrieb Barton Chittenden:
I think that a flag may not even be necessary -- the TT syntax won't conflict with the current letter formats, and is unlikely to be entered accidentally. I think that we could simply silently start to support TT, and no one would be the wiser, except for those who want to use it.
This also addresses Heather's concern -- the initial transition would be essentially un-noticable.

Rather than forcing a complete switchover right off the bat, I suggest adding a flag that specifies whether old-style or TT templates are in effect for a given notice. That way, we'll have much more flexibility to design the new templating mechanism to take full advantage of Template Toolkit, and folks will have the ability to migrate their notices definitions on their own schedule.
