You know... after some days of using ZPT you just don't want to get back to DTML anymore.
But what if you then have to dynamically render something that's not *ML? For example, CSS or even StructuredText?
Fear no more! TextTemplates and TERRY come to the rescue!
TERRY is a simple markup language that brings the power of TALES and TAL to the world of text/plain. TextTemplates is a Zope Product that uses TERRY. So you markup your CSS or STX with something that looks like:
%(tal:content="here/fgcolor" black)%
and there you go :-)
But there's more! You can also change the characters used to do the markup; so if %( is meaningful in your target language and you don't want to spend half of your life escaping, you can redefine the sequences to \{ and }, and write the preceding code like:
\{
}
\{tal:content="here/fgcolor" black}
All of this for the ridiculous price of two downloads! And if you download it now, you also get a chance to find lots of bugs...
Oh yeah, it depends on mxTextTools and needs Python 2.x, sorry.
