in reply to Your Favorite XHTML Template System

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone :).

In the end I decided to write my own - don't worry, it's not like it's a parser ;), but I'm sure I'll find uses for other options later on.

    Why did you decide to write your own? I'm sure there are plenty of people willing and able to add any missing features to the existing solutions and plenty of people willing and able to point you to or even write better documentation for the existing solutions.

      And this is exactly why I dropped my own OO-RDBMS wrapper and moved over to Alzabo. The essence is that instead of starting my own project because the existing packages aren't "good enough", I can take something that is mostly what I want and add onto it. Just today I'm adding a YAML serialization to it.

      Its easier to extend and alter something that already exists than to create something new.
