Hi. I have always been wondering why you choose to invent your own template language? The language reminds me a lot of the usual HTML/XML languages, and it defintely relates to the XSLT (XML Stylesheets). So, my question is: Why didnt you just choose to create a variation of XSLT? That way, you would just use the namespace feature in XML, making it <ez:some-func/>. This is much - much easier to use for many of us, since the current template language has some shortcommings, when it comes to readability (I can never see the difference between {} and (). Finally, if the language was purely XML based, you would be able to use a simple XML library for the template compiler. Lastly, the XML library would complain, if you have made any tags that are not closed, or the like. And many editors would automatically be able to apply syntax highlighting. Kind Regards, Christian Rytter
