... sure we do! C.f. HTML_Template_Dummy (now Savant). It uses a significantly different approach from the other template engines in PEAR. Yes, I know, "it's another template engine and we already have too many of those in PEAR." But its different approach just wasn't enough.
No Savant is essentially Xipe without a compiling stage. I would be trivial to "extend" Xipe to include this. Actually I am using a method from Xipe to give me more or less the functionality you provide in Savant. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
