[feat]: A way to define data in html

[andreyvolokitin]

Documentation states one way to define data — via plugin invocation. But often it may be necessary to define data directly in HTML for specific expressions (like data for included "template" with some expressions). May it be possible with posthtml-expressions?

@andreyvolokitin Hi, see example

[andreyvolokitin]

Which example specifically? I can only find one here where it says that we need to pass data directly to the plugin

Currently only the plug-in is available.
Perhaps it will help you scopes

related to #44 (date as inline in scope)

Yep, seen that. What I wanted is something like this: https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/templating.html#macro — a standard concept in templating engines, where you invoke some partial with some parameters. It is interesting to mention that locals do not seem like locals at all, but more like globals, but I understand that purpose of that plugin is maybe different from what I wanted

Possible implementation:

<scope
    var1="text"
    var2="text text text"
    var3="text text text text text"
>
   <include src="include.html"></include>
</scope>

also:

• make with optional
• overwrite intersected properties from with in case it present

Problems:

• strange syntax
• with becomes a "reserved" word and can not be used as expression variable
• will attributes strings be sufficient to hold values instead of real JS values used in locals object?

What do you think?
