Probably the Haml site describes it quite well (see the showdown at the bottom)... http://haml-lang.com/ basically its a very concise way of making markup - though its a different kind of templating engine to the one in lift where there is no code at all in a template and you bind via reflection XML elements to functions which then replace elements with values or apply other transformations etc. I've used lots of different template engines over the years; they seem to all have strengths and weaknesses - it mostly depends on what the make up & skills of the team is & how the team work with web designers etc. If I'm on a project where I don't have to chuck templates over a wall to be edited by a web designer I find the Scaml approach a little easier on my brain & fingers with the cost that there's no IDE to render it other than the actual web browser and there's code in the template which can be viewed as a bad thing - YMMV though. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://fusesource.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
