Do you love the simplicity of the CI view loader but just can't stomach loading a whole file just to add a couple of span tags and a whole other file just to close them? I think you might find a happy medium with this library.

Essentially, it’ll let you call a view with a wrapper command and some data like so:

$data[’wrap’] = htmlentities(‘<span class="bigbox"><span class="littlebox></span></span>’); 
$this->render->wrap(’content’,$data);

That’ll produce the equivalent of ```php

Your content here...


If your 'wrap' data doesn’t have a middle, it'll prefix or post-fix the tags as you might expect.  I was aiming for the jQuery 'wrap' function, if you’re familiar with it.

```php
$this->render->wrap('header',array('wrap'=>htmlentities('&lt;body onload="init()"&gt;')));
$this->load->view('content');
$this->render->wrap('footer',array('wrap'=>htmlentities('&lt;/body&gt;')));

I also threw in my XSLT send() function.

Codeigniter will not let you pass unencoded entities, so your tags will have to be within htmlentities().

You will need to rewrite all of the html brackets in this code before you can use it. This wiki automatically interpret's them into < and >. Make sure that you put them back to &lt; and &gt; as I intended.
