[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTML_Template_Flexy-0.3 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package HTML_Template_Flexy-0.3 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Bug fixes - allow usage with only constructor options - fixed form elements - should be htmlspecialchars, rather than urlencoding - new Tokenizer is enabled by default - set 'useLegacy' in config/options to use the old regex replacer. - no variables are added (eg. o.*, a.* etc. to the page unless useLegacy is set) - parsers are now private methods. (internal change) New Features - FLEXYSTART and FLEXYSTARTCHILDREN tags added so when use you include sub templates, you can avoid including HEAD etc. tags. Package Info ------------- HTML_Template_Flexy started it's life as a simplification of HTML_Template_Xipe, however in Version 0.2, It became one of the first template engine to use a real Lexer, rather than regex'es, making it possible to do things like ASP.net or Cold Fusion tags. However, it still has a very simple set of goals. - Very Simple API, easy to learn... - Targeted at Object based systems - default behavior is to display object variables - Designed to allow the documentation of available variables using PEAR standards, eg. PHPDoc comments around object variables - Ability to edit the templates in WYSIWYG HTML editors, without breaking the tags - Extremely Fast, for normal variables and looping (or blocks), both for designing and runtime. Features: - {variable} to echo $object->variable - {method()} to echo $object->method(); - {foreach:var,key,value} to PHP foreach loops - {if:variable} to PHP If statement - {if:method()} to PHP If statement - {else:} and {end:} to close or alternate If statements - FORM to object mapping, - replacement of INPUT, TEXTAREA and SELECT tags with PHP variables or OPTIONS FLEXYIGNORE to prevent replacements - FLEXYSTART/FLEXYSTARTCHILDREN tags to define where output starts/finishes - support for urlencoded braces {} in HTML attributes.
