Well, I've been using mustache-d as my main templating engine,

eyeing that other text preprocessor that uses actual D code).
ah, I see. BTW, fun fact: dom.d can understand ASP and PHP style
tags. You need to set a special callback or call
enableAddingSpecialTagsToDom() before parse, (The latter will
also enable storing comments, <! stuff> and <?stuff>) but then it
will work.
I did that to enable dual-use templates that have some PHP code
too. But it might be interesting to use for template stuff too...
BTW (ok this whole post is turning out to be a series of BTWs),
web.d also has a template function that is dom-aware which I
think is potentially very interesting.
Like it could see <span>{$foo}</span> and be aware to add a class
to that span or something. Or it could automatically wrap
variables in spans iff that makes sense in the html context.
Stuff I've never really used despite writing this some time
ago... but I still think there's some potential to all this.
Granted there are still things I have to refrain from doing in
my HTML form templates because it would violate well-formedness
*too much* even for an ultra-relaxed HTML DOM. But those cases
always have other (arguably more sanitary) ways to accomplish
the same thing.
yea
