Subject: [ANN] Kwartz (2004-04-23) - a template system for ruby, php and java

Hi folks,

I have released new version of Kwartz.
Kwartz is a template system, which has the following features.
   - separate presentation logic from HTML file.
   - very fast, as fast as mod_ruby
   - available in Ruby, PHP and Java.
   - doesn't break HTML design at all.
   - can handle any type of text file.
   - auto-sanitizing

* New features:

  - New lang 'ruby2' supported. It stores output into string.
 
      Compile:
      ========================================
      $ kwartz -l ruby2 file.html > file.rb
      ========================================
   
      Output script (file.rb):
      ----------------------------------------
      _s << "Hello " << (user).to_s << "!\n"
      _s << "<ul>\n"
      for item in list do
        _s << "  <li>" << (item).to_s << "</li>\n"
      end
      _s << "</ul>\n"
      ----------------------------------------
   
      Main program:
      ----------------------------------------
      code = File.open('file.rb') { |f| f.read }
      _s = ''
      eval code
      print _s
      ----------------------------------------
 
  - Utility script 'mkmethod' enhanced to be able to take
    argument names with command line option '-A'.
 
      ========================================
      $ mkmethod -A 'user,list' -M Hoge hoge.html
      module Hoge
        def self.expand_hoge(_args)
          user = _args[:user]
          list = _args[:list]
          return self._expand_hoge(user, list)
        end
        def self._expand_hoge(user, list)
          _s = ''
	  _s << "Hello " << (user).to_s << "!\n"
	  _s << "<ul>\n"
          for item in list do
            _s << "  <li>" << (item).to_s << "</li>\n"
          end
	  _s << "</ul>\n"
          return _s
        end
      end
      ========================================

  - New lang 'php2' supported. It uses output buffering functions
    to get output as string.

  - Utility script 'mkmethod' now support PHP.
