The main benefit that I realize from Cheetah is the fact that the presentation kept seperate.

Personally its just easier for me to type
<title>$title</title>
then have to lookup the equivalent in an HTML DOM library.

Althought I do use a library for HTML form elements (FunFormKit), I slap the elements together in a cheetah template.

The only times I have used a fill blown HTML DOM w/ in a Java project w/ XMLC where the entire output was generated and manipulated via an XML interface, so at least I did not have to learn a completly new API.
As always it depends upon the details, but if you keep presentation seperate you can always change.

Hi All,

I was just after some opinions on the suitability/necessity of using
cheetah for templating together with a HTML DOM library.


If my templates do not have any markup whatsover i.e just using the DOM
library to generate/create the HTML tags, I can't see the advantages
cheetah would offer over a normal python class. This is my
understanding, but I if anyone can provide some more/other insight, it
would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks


Huy
