Mustache question - Accessing higher level context

Hi,

if I have a nested data structure (context) that's passed to a template, can I access variables of an outer context from within a nested context?

sth. like this:

{{#ParentList}}
  {{#Children}}
     {{Name}} is a child of {{#../Father}}
  {{/Children}}
{{/ParentList}}

I understand that within the {{#Children}} tag, the context is switched to the actual element of the Children list. So if I want to access sth. that is up a level in the context hierarchy, is that possible somehow or do I have to create my data structures so that the Father value is an element of the Child to get what I want?

If it's not possible, wouldn't that be a useful extension to the mustache implementation of mORMot?

Thanks
Martin

By design, ParentList members are visible within Children loop.
You just need to take care that the member names do not overlap.
