If multiple levels are shown, give a plus (expand) and minus (collapse) option to browse the tree easier. Similar to Object Browser in other development platforms. 2. When it is collapsed, supply the fully qualified variable name (e.g. node.data_map.image) for easy copy paste into template being developed.

I'm not sure if an expanding / collapsing display option / augmentation would solve the problem 100% it might be a great step towards making this output cleaner. Alternately, a clickable popup link to also view the same output in it's own window, might also make this even simpler to use in a template that is anything but /design/plain eh? //kracker <i>Sole : mansbestfriend : Judges Ain't Nothing But Guts With A Halo</i> Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
