[Petal] A structure bug

Hi William,

In the template your are writing:

    <li><p petal:replace="structure:html_string"></p></li>

Please bare in mind that 'structure' and 'fresh' are petal KEYWORDS, not
modifiers. They are deeply burried within Petal::Hash core, while modifiers
are just merely... well... modifiers. So you should write:

    <li><p petal:replace="structure html_string"></p></li>

(notice the absence of columns after 'structure')

I have updated the documentation when I released 0.73 I think. I encourage
you to read the Petal::Expressions [1] article I have added to the
distribution.

No worries... try with the proper syntax, and tell me if it works :-)
