Stupid Template Engine ====================== The Stupid Template Engine (STE) is a template engine for the PHP programming language. Requirements ------------ PHP >= 5.3 Why should you use it? ---------------------- * It's syntax (inspired by Textpattern's template syntax) is very easy and similar to the syntax of (X)HTML. So it should be easy for designers to learn this system. * It has a simple, yet powerful plugin interface. You can easily define your own template functions / tags. It is even possible to write them in the template language itself, which makes it kind of a programming language... * It can transcompile templates into PHP. * You can use anonymous functions to define custom tags. Annoying things. ---------------- * No caching. Could be slow on websites with many hits. WARNING ------- Early development, that means that it might be pretty buggy at the moment...
