I have never needed programming structures like that in my build automation scripts. But I think I understand where the problem is: you are trying to use a build automation tool to implement an application: a website generator. This is wrong. What you want to do may be possible with Pake (or any build automation tool that supports build scripts with a cyclomatic complexity > 1) but that does not make it right ;-) Have a look at how the documentation for PHPUnit's manual is built [1]. There are a couple of PHP scripts that deal with syntax highlighting of examples and form a website from the HTML that comes out of DocBook/XSL. But the automation of these scripts happens in Ant. As it should be. -- [1] https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-documentation -- Sebastian Bergmann Co-Founder and Principal Consultant http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://thePHP.cc/
