Wow... I was looking forward for such a thing in Rhino. However, not
being a Rhino expert I ended up using println() statements. This will
be a welcome addition. Wouldn't borrowing syntax from XQuery instead
of JSP be much neater? Some thing like:
function main()
{
return <html>
<body>
for (var i=0; i<10; ++i)
<div>{i}</div>
</body>
</html>
}
var xhtmlNode=main();
{xhtmlNode}
