Say, text-only or CSV? It could be that wicket has non-html based tags as well -- I don't know. However if the tags are based on HTML then suddenly they don't look so "natural" anymore.

And everything I can do in Django I can do in pure Python . . . but that's not really what we're talking about. I'm only attempting to explain to you that there is nothing in the Django template solution that prevents you from doing anything that you did in wicket. It could be that there's a python-based template system that has syntax a little closer to what you're used to.
