Hi Andreas, When I wrote Jaderl I did have in mind the idea of separating compilation (into an AST) from generation (from AST to HTML), and hence Jaderl is structured in exactly that way. I anticipated multiple parsers for different templating languages, and (hopefully only) one generator.
I have not looked yet at the source of ErlyDTL, so I am not sure if it already employs such a structure, but if not then the nodes I defined for the AST (I think I called it HST - HTML Syntax Tree) may be of interest to you as a start point. I am definitely very interested in combining these efforts, and have always seen the careful and clear spec of the AST to be a key factor in achieving this goal. graeme PS I am guessing that this topic is likely to be of only peripheral interest to most readers of this list. Do you plan an alternative venue for the anticipated discussions?
