My opinon on that is that template system role is to separate presentation logic from the html which can be considered as resource. Therefore I do not prefer template systems with embeded control structures in it. But I guess it is a matter of ones own preferences, and what is "right approach" for them it is not necessary right for me and other way around. I completely agree that it is also necessary to separate bussines logic from the presentation, but I do not think this is a job of template system. rush -- http://www.templatetamer.com/
