An integrated web templating environment

Project description

Tayra is a full-featured abstract markup language to template web documents.
It is primarily inspired from `mako-templates <http://www.makotemplates.org/>`_
and `HAML <http://haml-lang.com/>`_ (especially the indentation based
markup definitions). Only templating language that allow developers to build
and distribute their templates as plugins, not to mention the fact that
tayra's implementation itself is heavily based on plugins.

Example,

.. code-block:: ttl
:linenos:

@doctype html

<html>
<head>
<style text/css>
.italics { font-style : italics; }

<body>
<div>
<p> <span .italics> hello world
<p> counting to hundred, ${[ x for x in range(1, 100) ]}


Features
--------

- concise and neat syntax.
- based on `pluggdapps` component architecture.
- leverages on `pluggdapps'` configuration system.
- full programmability available via,

- expression substitution with optional escape encoding.
- control-blocks like if-elif-else.
- looping contructs like for / while.
- python statements.

- template abstraction using function blocks, with its own local scope.
- import other template scripts into the local namespace and access their
functions
- template inheritance for re-usable web-layouts.
- extensible filter blocks.
- expression substitution can be extended by plugins to interpret different
types of expression.
- unique ability to create template plugins, distribute them as separate
package.
- easy to debug. when used with `pluggdapps'` ``CatchAndDebug`` plugin,
exception tracebacks are tweaked to directly point to faulting line in the
template.
- `pluggable` tag handlers for custom tag elements.
- compiles down to optimal python code and optionally memcached. Also possible
to persist the intermediate python code to avoid re-compilation in case of
server restart.
- works with python 3.x.
- has full unicode support.
- lexer for generating syntax-highlighted web documents using Pygments.
- `vim plugin <http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4464>`_ for
template scripts.
- **License:** `GPLv3 license <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>`.
- **Requires:** Linux, Python-3.x, Pluggdapps, PLY.
- **Status:** Core design stable. Not expected to change.

Refer to `package documentation <http://pythonhosted.org/tayra/>`_.
