For me, it's a "right way to do XML" (so XHTML qualifies here) from Python, so I wouldn't argue. I don't know PHP's Smarty, the only templating engine I know is Apache's Velocity and I hate all these "directives" (like #foreach, #if, etc.) they put in template, I saw it elsewhere many times. I prefer clean Python code. Kid somehow has it (although it has directives also), HTMLTemplate has it, Xist *is* it. Sure, I'd like to have Xist in TG, but it's not feasible. We do not need anything like that to generate proper output. -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/
