Release notes
-------------
* Added usage examples
* Added the cache FAQ
* This is the last 0.9.x release unless some bugs are found. The 1.0 release will
have callbacks significantly redone and will require changes to your scripts if
you use callbacks.
Package Info
-------------
HTML_Template_Sigma implements Integrated Templates API designed by Ulf Wendel.
Features:
* Nested blocks. Nesting is controlled by the engine.
* Ability to include files from within template: <!-- INCLUDE -->
* Automatic removal of empty blocks and unknown variables (methods to manually tweak/override this
are also available)
* Methods for runtime addition and replacement of blocks in templates
* Callback functions (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NOW, API will change in future release)
* 'Compiled' templates: the engine has to parse a template file using regular expressions
to find all the blocks and variable placeholders. This is a very "expensive" operation and
is an overkill to do on every page request: templates seldom change on production websites. Thus
this feature: an internal representation of the template structure is saved into a file and this
file gets loaded instead of the source one on subsequent requests (unless the source changes)
* PHPUnit-based tests to define correct behaviour
* Usage examples for most of the features are available, look in the docs/ directory
