Hi Tyler,

Stephane suggested something similar on IRC. I do want at least one other syntax to be included in the default parser, so that the examples can be changed. My main issue with making them easily modular, is that this would also make it difficult to use templates that are included with RIFE packaged RIFE components and web applications.

Best regards,

Geert

Do all of the syntaxes have to be integrated into the parser? Can't
they be injected as modules? Say the RIFE default syntax is enabled
and if they want a different syntax they specify it in a config or
something? I don't see any reason to limit the syntax choices or any
reason that they can't be included without a speed penalty.

Cheers,
  Tyler

Hi,

it seems that a lot of people that look at RIFE cringe when seeing
the template tag syntax and don't delve deeper because of that. I
thus think it's important to solve this and make the negativity go
away, even if they might like the syntax later on. I thus worked
out a bunch of alternatives that we could add. I'd love to get your
input on these. Ideally I'd just implement them all, but I worry
about parsing performance.

Anyway, here they are:

What I like most about RIFE is that the templating system is great.
Everything can be manipulated by code. I'd hate it if suddenly there
were a gazillion ways to do the same thing without actually bringing
any benefit.

I feel like these proposals just beautify the code, but do not add
any real value.
