see http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kwartz-php/ChangeLog.html for details.



What's that?

Kwartz-php is a template system which is available with multi
programming language (PHP, Ruby and Java).
And it is the first template system that realized the concept of
'Separation of Presentation Logic and Presentaion data' (SoPL/PD).

It is available to separate the presentation layer from the
main program with any template system. In addition, Kwartz-php
enables you to separate the presentation logics (iteration and
conditional branching) from the presentation data (HTML file).


Features:
* Separates presentation logic from presentation data.
* Runs very fast
* Supports multiple programing languages (PHP/Ruby/Java)
* Doesn't break HTML design at all
* Handles any text file
* Supports Auto-Sanitizing and Partial-Sanitizing


Example:

* Presentation Data (example.html)
- There is no iteration nor conditional branching
in the presentation data file.
--------------------
<table>
<tr id="mark:values">
<td>@{$var}@</td>
</tr>
</table>
--------------------

* Presentation Logic (example.plogic)
- There is no HTML tags in the presentation logic file.
--------------------
## Re-define an element
element values { ## element
foreach ($list as $var) {
@stag; ## start tag
@cont; ## content
@etag; ## end tag
}
}
--------------------

* Compile
- Generate an output script from presentation data
and presentation logic.
--------------------
$ kwartz-php -p example.plogic example.html > example.php

$ kwartz-php -l eruby -p example.plogic example.html > example.rhtml

$ kwartz-php -l jstl11 -p example.plogic example.html > example.jsp
--------------------

* Output Script
(PHP)
--------------------
<table>
<?php foreach ($list as $var) { ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $var; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
--------------------

(eRuby)
--------------------
<table>
<% for var in list do %>
<tr>
<td><%= var %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
--------------------

(JSTL)
--------------------
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<table>
<c:forEach var="var" items="${list}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${var}" escapeXml="false"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
--------------------

The above examples shows:
* Presentation data (= HTML file) doesn't contain any logics.
* Presentation logic file doesn't contain any data.
* These are separated from the main program.

The command-line option '-e' escapes the HTML special chars
with 'htmlspecialchars()' in PHP, 'CGI::escapeHTML()' in eRuby,
and '<c:out/>' tag without 'escapeXml="false"' in JSTL.
