Recursive Templates

A template can call itself, but such a template should contain some kind of criteria or scope change to avoid an infinite loop.

Example
Class `C1` is inner to class `C2`, which is in turn inner to `C3`. The template `%topContainerCode%` tests whether the present classifier is inner to another, and if so, calls itself on the container classifier to perfom the same test until it reaches a classifier that is not inner, at which point it prints the code of the top container: .if (%isInner%) %ContainerClassifier.topContainerCode% .else %Code% .endif Result: C3

Example

Class C1 is inner to class C2, which is in turn inner to C3. The template %topContainerCode% tests whether the present classifier is inner to another, and if so, calls itself on the container classifier to perfom the same test until it reaches a classifier that is not inner, at which point it prints the code of the top container:

.if (%isInner%)
	%ContainerClassifier.topContainerCode%
.else
	%Code%
.endif

Result:

C3
