Miniature Java template compiler
Why are there so many Java templating engines, when JSP is right there for you to use? I’m starting to understand — JSP has a strange ‘feel’. It should be possible to do FreeEnergy with the include directive though. Hmm.
The start of an experiment:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import sys
html = open(sys.argv[1]).read()
while 1:
x = html.split(’<%’, 1)
if x[0]:
print ‘out.write(“%s”);’ % x[0].replace(’\’, ’\\‘).replace(’”’, ’”‘).replace(‘\n’, ‘\n’)
if len(x) == 1: break
code, html = x[1].split(’%>’, 1)
if code:
if code[0] == ’=’: code = ‘out.write(%s)’ % code[1:]
print code
