[PHPTAL] tal:attributes and php:

[Iván -DrSlump- Montes]

TAL uses double chars to escape especial characters, so to include a
semi-colon you should use ';;' (without the quotes).

If I remember correctly to define a string you don't need to use the
php: modifier but string: or simply enclose the string in single
quotes.

<span tal:attributes="class 'green;; blue'; style 'background: red;;
color: white'></span>

ciao,
Iván
