I wrote a template parser about 6 years ago that I never released but
would be willing to share the code if you're interested in seeing it.
It's documented here:
The code is hideous, it's CF 4.5 era code and I wrote it obviously a
long long time ago :)
Is there something specificly SMARTY-like you're trying to do?
Only I can't see any relevant benefit in using obscure PHP-like syntax for this.
I would d suggest just using regular variables and packaged custom tags, eg:
t:section name=sec1 loop=contacts
phone: #phone#br/

I am still tossing this around trying to figure out the right way to go about
it. I have developed applications in the past and am working on a new one now
where it is desired to not only separate the presentation from the
I am in need of a template engine similar to Smarty (PHP) for ColdFusion? I
have not found such a thing yet. Does it exist?
If not, how would you go about writing a parser in ColdFusion that could take a
template like this ...

I've used ClearSilver (www.clearsilver.net) in a few CF apps with
great success. I've never used Smarty, but I haven't found
ClearSilver much lacking. It's definitely a templating engine; it's
got no brains, but tha'ts exactly what we were looking for. You can
build macros, use includes, and

I have looked at ClearSilver before, I just have not liked its syntax. I like
for the templates to be able to be verified on their own and ClearSilver is not
xhtml compliant. I am not sure if Smarty is or not.
Thanks for the pointer.
You can verify the templates by parsing them without rendering (using
an empty dataset). That way you can give immediate feedback to your
users when they edit them. As for xhtml compliance, ColdFusion isn't
compliant either.
If that's not for you, it's simple to write a command processor that
