I would say that display logic is a FILTER of what the business logic returns.
Well, it's not what you can _say_, it's what you can _substantiate_ :) Take a look at this tt:
<h3>Projects</h3> <ul> [% FOREACH project IN worklist(me.id) %] <li> <a href="[% project.url %]">[% project.name %]</a> [% END %] </ul>
It is pseudo-English for the business requirement: "For each project in the worklist provide a URL linking to the project name"

That is a business rule, plain and simple, and it has crept it's way out of Perl and into a quote-unquote presentation language.


In reply to tt splits your business logic between Perl and its 'presentation language' by metaperl
in thread Display logic is driven by business rules IMHO by metaperl
