And time does not matter here if to use caching. http://codeassembly.com/What-cascading-html-template-sheet-is/#233 2009-05-22 13:49:37 http://codeassembly.com/What-cascading-html-template-sheet-is/#233 You might want to take a look at TAL (or PHPTAL for the php implementation). From what I gather it comes pretty close to solving most (if not all) of the problems and demands you wrote about in both your posts on CHTS. If it doesn't solve your problem, I'm pretty sure it'll be a nice point of inspiration. (Although I might be missing some of your points... I've tried to read both your post attentionately, but I feel like I might be too tired right now to really absorb it properly...) http://codeassembly.com/What-cascading-html-template-sheet-is/#205 2009-02-17 10:15:28 http://codeassembly.com/What-cascading-html-template-sheet-is/#205 Sounds like your trying to do on the server side what it'd be trivial to do using jQuery on the client side. It supports css selection, DOM transforms, etc... If you gave it a JSON object for rendering in the view... it'd transform the page any way you wrote it to. You might want to look into server side JavaScript. If for no other reason than it seems to line up pretty well with what you're thinking.
