[PEPr] Comment on HTML::Template_Savant

David Costa (http://pear.php.net/user/gurugeek) has commented on the proposal for HTML::Template_Savant. Comment: I have been using Savant for a while and it does has merits. as Paul said : "Xipe uses variables directly from the script, without a step for "assigning" them to the template; Savant uses an explicit "assign()" method to push variables to the template. Xipe implements its own cache. Savant leaves caching for the application and does not try to override that." Therefore I would see Savant as a good alternative to the existing template engines. True, I realise that some PEAR developers don't like the idea of another template engine. But frankly I have been trying ALL the PEAR templates, smarty, many others and really Savant is different. I don't want to use a compiling/caching engine ;) You can be up and running in minutes and there is nothing to learn. The no compiling and special markup is a great thing. I have checked the source and is well commented and structured so, for me it would be a +1 Regards David Costa Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=83 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
