Hello, I'm experimenting with a xhtml templating language and have some questions about ActionPack, particularly to do with compilable templates. I'm mostly looking for further information about compilable templates.
The templating language currently works, though it isn't a compilable template handler. I've yet to benchmark it, but it seems to be running quite fast (it's built on nokogiri, which is fast). I noticed that the erb and haml templating integrations are compilable - that is, they seem to return a string containing a representation of the template with ruby statements to be evaluated against the local scope; this string is stored as a method on ActionView::Base::CompiledTemplates. The code is in ActionView::Renderable. At any rate, my approach doesn't do this at all - it simply interprets the template, renders it, then passes it back. This is working very well for the prototype and I'm happy with it. I wanted to ask if anyone had experience in this area, though, and if it was a mistake to use a templating language which isn't compilable in the ActionView::TemplateHandlers::Compilable sense? The templating language is called Renshi, btw, and is loosely based on Python's Genshi. It's not ready for general use yet, but hopefully it will be presently. http://github.com/biv/renshi/tree/master Regards, Nicholas Faiz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
