Thanks Macario,
Liquid looks like what I'm after - and the railscast (as always) is
excellent. It seems like I could hook some specific helper methods up
to it and they could be outputted using {{ this notation }}
Out of interest ... how does one go about writing their own template
language? Any basic way of starting?
cheers,
DAZ
