Thanks.

It's not readable ! > OK, the example you've picked out seems to be complicated (as I've state in the documentation). My intention for this templating was: 1. To make it very simple. You just mark the dynamic parts in html pages and you optionally specify the matching content type. 2. It is not targeted towards java programmers, but should be handy for people with html knowledge. They can simple take their static html-pages and turn them into projector templates without java skill. 3. I've choosed the <%variable%> syntax as many html-editors (like adobe go live) handle this correctly as it is close to ASP syntax. 4. See documentation why I've added the <? ... ?> expression. But I'm very open to suggestions how to make it even simpler. As the tag identifiers are defined in a static String, it is very easy to replace them with other tags. > Why not using a standard jsp/jstl solution, should it means creating > taglibs ? I'll avoid jsp's as it enabled people to fill programming code into the templates and decreases reusability. I've worked in so many project where all of the logic was coded into jsp that I still feel it's clever to prohibit programming code in the templates. Start using it and I hope you'll share this feeling ;-) Cheers, Daniel > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
