Its not a big deal to convert one template file to another. If you have
MATLAB or octave. You can simply use this
clear all;clc;close all
%'my_jinja_file.html' is my jinja template
%'my_web2py_file.html' is my web2py template
%Then copy the jinja file template to create another copy of itself and
thats your web2py template
copyfile('my_jinja_file.html','my_web2py_file.html','f');
find_and_replace('my_web2py_file.html','{%','{{'); %replacing all the {%
with {{
find_and_replace('my_web2py_file.html','{{','{{='); %replacing all the {{
to {{=
disp('you just converted from jinja to web2py')
%going the other way around
copyfile('my_web2py_file.html','my_jinja_file.html','f');
find_and_replace('my_jinja_file.html','{{','{%'); %replacing web2py {{ to
{%
find_and_replace('my_jinja_file.html','{{=','{%'); %replacing web2py {{=
to {%. Note, if you have {{ = or spaces in between, you need to have
additional lines to cover that.
NOTE: This is not the recommended way. find_and_replace.m can be
downloaded from MATHWORKS file exchange. This is MATLAB routine. If you
don't have MATLAB installed, you can run this using OCTAVE.
Good luck!:-)
