A suggestion

The implementation of the language for display layout and logic seems to me nice and simple in the specs. But it may help to put a blurb in the text explaining the template engine idea, making clear the decomposition of the tasks. A scheme may help, something along the lines of (I am not good at ASCII art, so bear w/ me): Browser

    |

Server

    |

PHP -- Script (Processing logic)

            |
            |   Template   +-- template file(s)
            +--  engine  --+
                (layout)   +-- configuration file(s)

(hopefully it will not be mangled too bad by e-mail programs not using proportional, instead of fixed, fonts) With some sort of caption, to drive the point further: "The PHP template engine uses external template and configuration files, to generate the appropriate layout representation of the data processed in the calling (host?) PHP script. In principle a script could pick different templates to display the same data in different ways: HTML for a web browser, XML for data encapsulation, etc." Hope I got most of the stuff above right. Feel free to correct me if I did not understand some point in the PHP-TE description (hey! new acronym ;) ===== Jesus M.
