I'd say a source-to-source translator would be worth investing in, then, as long as there are no semantics in your templating system that don't map well into a TT construct. In fact, you could even do it inline: [% FILTER YourSystemToTT | tteval %] ... your template here ... [% END %] The tricky part is writing "YourSystemToTT". :) -- Randal L.
