Of course, I understand 🙂

I really like the `.Site.Param` and `.Param` approach because now I can consistently use lowercase everywhere.

The question regarding `{{ (.Site.Param "temp1.var1") }}` was to help polish this new syntax to support a use case of `[params]` where one could have nested tables. If it’s still not supported, I can wait. No hurry.

It is not, but it will. I will just have to sleep on how to solve the casing issues without breaking the world.

You can of course do:

```auto
{{ (.Site.Param "temp1").var1 }}

```

but then you are back to your initial case struggles.
