What I'd like is to be able to write such an application solely with
wiki markup, no scripting at all. Something like:
(% class="hfeed single" %)(((
{{withObject type="Blog.BlogPostClass"}}
(% class="blogdate" %)
== {{property name="publishDate"/}} ==
(% class="hentry single-article" %)(((
(% class="entry-content" %)(((
{{property name="content"/}}
)))
)))
{{/withObject}}
)))
