"""
Django template tag for inserting Shrink The Web images into templates.

Configuration:

Save this file as shrinktheweb_tags.py in the project's templatetags directory.
A variable named SHRINK_THE_WEB_KEY should be defined in settings.py set to the
user's STW key.

Usage:
{% load shrinktheweb_tags %}
{% shrinkthewebimage url size alt %}

where:
 - url is expected to be a variable instantiated from the context
 - size is passed directly to shrinktheweb.com which currently accepts
   one of: "sm", "lg" or "xlg" (may be either a quoted string or not)
 - alt is either a quoted string or a variable instantiated from the context


Example usage:
Given a template context variable "author" with an attribute "url"
the following are valid entries in a template file:

{% load shrinktheweb_tags %}

{% shrinkthewebimage author.url "sm" '' %}

{% shrinkthewebimage author.url lg author.url %}

{% shrinkthewebimage author.url 'xlg' "The author's website" %}
