Agreed, and the flexibility of smarty allows for quite a bit more functionality for the template developer... Anyone seriously considering template engines should take a hard look at Smarty.
Just my $0.02. Oh, and if you don't like top-posting, ignore this msg, as I will undoubtedly ignore your response (actually I won't even have the chance, I have at this point configured my anti-spam software to automatically delete msgs with "top post" or "bottom post" in them, and suggest that other users of this list do the same). -Javier -----Original Message----- From: Chris Hubbard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 3:13 PM To: Bas; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] BTML 2.0 released!!! Bas, Looks interesting. But why would I use bhtml when I've got Smarty and 10,000 other templating systems to choose from? I'm not interested in the vauge promises of speed. I'm only interested in systems that make it easier for me to code. Smarty makes it easier for me to code. How does bhtml help me? And ditto on the comments about posting code. Please find a way to make it readable.
