This is the template engine used into Jelix (under the name jTpl). It uses a simple syntax similar to the PHP syntax.

• A simple Api to inject data and to generate content
• A language with a syntax similar to PHP, but a bit simpler to ease learning
• Templates can be a file or a simple string
• Efficient generator: template files are "compiled" to PHP files
• A sandbox mode, to fetch untrusted templates (templates uploaded by a user in a CMS for example). This mode has less capabilities of course.
• A plugin system, similar to Smarty plugins.
• Plugins can be specific to a content type (HTML, XML, text…), so they produced right content.
• meta expression: it allows the template to expose data to PHP code. For example, a "meta" can be an url of a stylesheet to use with the generated content.
