Compact Syntax for ESP expressions in HTML attributes
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-142
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-142
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Scripting
            Reporter: Lars Trieloff


The current syntax for ESP expressions ( <%= value %>) parallels the JSP 
syntax, but is hard to read when it is used in HTML attributes (<a 
href="<%=link %>"><%=name %> </a>). I propose an syntax addition that allows 
inline ESP expressions in HTML in a more compact way and that is less intrusive 
to the XML structure. Basis for the syntax were JSP Expression language and 
XSLT. The above example would be rephrased in the new syntax as: (<a 
href="{link}"><%=name %> </a>).
