Bug #837
TemplateParser does not allow dashes for indexes
Description
I am trying to use the "ISO-3166-Alpha-2" column from a database to display a country code, however, the item does not not get transformed in the output.
countries=list(model.Countries.List(self.bord))
Template code:
{{ for country in [countries] }}
[country:name] -> [country:ISO-3166-Alpha-2]
{{ endfor }}
Expected output:
...
Netherlands -> NL
...
Actual output:
...
Netherlands -> [country:ISO-3166-Alpha-2]
...
I did not see anything related to - being a forbidden character in the TemplateParser docs, or maybe I overlooked it. Is this a forbidden character and is this the issue, or am I doing something else wrong?

The dash is indeed not on the list of allowed characters. While many characters are not explicitly on that list (some for good reason, others because adding them is a manual addition to the several regexes), the dash is a useful character to have, and is likely to occur naturally.
I'll add dashes to the allowed characters for both indexes and functions.

The wiki entry for TemplateParser will need documentation on the allowed characters for all tag parts (name, indexes and functions).

Confirmed fixed, and documentation updated.
Added dashes as legal characters for template indexes and function names. Updated tests to reflect the changes. This resolves #837.
