That is really what I have been looking for. I will take a look.

anyhow, my reasons for separating code and text is just that they are
very different jobs and that allows a code monkey to be different than
the html monkey. this scales better to larger projects. it makes the
text easier to read (less code noise). it makes the system more modular
too.
It also ensures that the 'html monkey' does not make more work for the 'code monkey', which is my biggest complaint. I can't tell you how many designers I've seen wait until AFTER they've totally messed up some page before they ask about what that code was that they deleted/changed. Also, it keeps me from having to worry about how the thing looks, and just concentrate on getting my code to work.
