MovableType plugin to handle the localized scope variables

LocalBlock plugin enables you to give the localized scope to the variables in template. The modifications to the localized scope variables in the specified block are limited in then and revoked after leaving the block. So they will have less dependence and more utilized.

After installing plugin into your MT, you can use <MTLocalBlock> block tag. <MTLocalBlock> tag makes a block to localize the scope of the variables.

<MTSetVar name="foo" value="123"> - <MTGetVar name="foo"> = 123 <MTSetVar name="bar" value="ABC"> - <MTGetVar name="bar"> = ABC <MTLocalBlock globals="^bar$"> <MTSetVar name="foo" value="456"> - <MTGetVar name="foo"> = 456 <MTSetVar name="bar" value="XYZ"> - <MTGetVar name="bar"> = XYZ </MTLocalBlock> - <MTGetVar name="foo"> = 123 - <MTGetVar name="bar"> = XYZ
