tayra 0.2dev

An integrated web templating environment

Tayra template

Tayra templating is a full-featured abstract markup language used to describe web-documents. It is primarily inspired from mako-templates and HAML (especially the indentation based markup definitions). Although it is young and relatively a new kid among the old-timers, it can be considered as the evolutionary next step for some of them ( if not all :) ). And probably it is the only templating language that allows developers to build and distribute their templates as plugins, not to mention the fact that tayra’s implementation itself is heavily based on plugins. We will finish this short introduction by stating that, inspite of being a younger sibling to its likes, it is faster than many of them.

You can learn more and hack into its guts at google-code

Some interesting features in tayra are,

• concise and beautiful syntax.

• pluggable tag handlers for custom tag elements.

• full programmability available via, ** expression substitution ** control-blocks like if-elif-else ** looping contructs like for / while

• templates abstraction using function blocks, with its own local scope.

• import other template files into the local namespace and access their functions

• template inheritance for re-usable web-layouting.

And the unique ability to write template plugins, package and distribute them.
