Possibly, but I can't see how to do this. You may have a particular level of generality in mind. If the template language gains conditional and looping constructs you may as well use a general purpose programming language or rely on an external formatter. By using Lua to script exporters, Kein-Hong has provided the ability to modify the formats exported without recompiling. They seem reasonably popular with 140 downloads of the current version: may be an idea to have a bit more blurb and maybe some screenshots. > I looked into what it would take to compile a version of SciTE for myself.. > and it would seem to be pretty straight-forward.. will it take more than > downloading the MingW package with GCC, assuming everything in downloaded > and installed correctly?
