improved getattr template filter

I tried to use [Joshua's](http://www.djangosnippets.org/users/joshua/) nice and very useful [getattr template filter (#38)](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/38/), but ran into a few problems. I used it on objects outside of my control (admin internals, coughcough) and on some of them the code didn't catch the resulting exceptions. So I improved the error handling a bit. Furthermore, the code now also returns the *value of a callable* instead of the callable *itself* (last 4 lines). Looking at my code though, it can certainly be improved further.

Wiki-like markup for sub templates

I wanted to have the possibility to use a wiki-like markup style in my flatpages for various purposes (embedding images, quoting, etc.) After a few dead ends I came up with this, which is quite nice I think. > It basically takes a named tag, loads the corresponding template, passes in all arguments, renders the template and replaces the named tag with the result. *The markup looks like this:* > [[example:value to pass|option1=somevalue option2=values can have spaces too! without having to put them in quotes option3=some other value]] *This results in:* * Filter tries to load wiki/wiki_example.html * If it is loaded, it passes an WikiElement containing the value and the options to the template, renders it and replaces the tag with the rendered template *In the "wiki/wiki_example.html" template you can use it like this:* {{param.value}} {{param.opts.option1}} Or loop over param.opts.iteritems.
