Summary: Stencil 0.1.1 Released
Project: Stencil
Stencil version 0.1.1 has been released!
Stencil is a templating library with a number of design goals.
* Limited code in templates. This isn't meant to embed ruby in anything -
it allows for simple control structures, since that's typically what you need
in a template, but full access to the Ruby
interpreter is just a tempatation into sin. (From a separation of concerns
standpoint.) There's a certain amount of code available in conditionals and
interpolations, since otherwise they're much harder to do...
* Easy to extend. If you do need something extra from a template, not
having it in the templating language is frustrating. It's easy to add
features to stencil, since they're described in as well-designed classes.
* Generic output. Not everything is a website or a mime-encoded email. It's
nice to be able to spit out generic text from time to time.
* Data sourced from simple datatypes - hashes and array, referenced with data
paths. Views can be extracted from any object, or built up in code.
