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. +---------------- + +* The error messages the parser returns, when your template has errors, are not + very helpful, i.e. the position of the error is not returned. You have to seek + it yourself. +* No caching. Could be slow on websites with many hits. + +WARNING +------- + +Early development, that means that it might be pretty buggy at the moment... + |
