Ok I underestimated a little.. 66 lines. http://devel.akbkhome.com/svn/index.php/akpear/Savant_tests/Savant.php there's no filter code in there, I was thinking something along these lines would be the best way to implement filtering.. $template = new HTML_Template_Flexy(...) $filter = new HTML_Template_Flexy(
    'compiler' => 'regex',
    'filters'  => array(
        'email',
        'filter' => 'myfilters/filter1.php'
    )
); $template->assign(.....); $template->compile('mytemplate.tpl'); $filter->compileString($template->toString()); $filter->output();

An idea raised recently on another list might work here too. Why not implement filters as stream wrappers? This way, any pre/post-processing can be handled indirectly without any need for support in the template engine. This would work for any template engine, old or new Greg
