[Helma-user] Small patch for loop macro

[Maksim Lin]

Hi Hannes,

Thanks for looking at the patch so quickly. Your change looks ok but
the reason I did it with a buffer was because of the bug I entered a
little earlier about all the macros in HopObject.js
(http://helma.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=519)

What worries me is that its not possible to use any of these macros
with RenderSkinAsString() to for instance create the body of an email
message.
I understand now that the reason for using res.write is for efficiency
but it does mean that the macros aren't as widely usable...

Maks.
