I finished work on a very simple and light modular templating and application tool.

Similar to my 4arrow.com/test/t/ template and macro tool this one adds a Virtual URI based engine and a corresponding structured template/macro containers.

A cache container which should duplicated the template one but doesn't have to.

The library directory contains the code that the templates reference in their structured pre-defined designs.

So the file distro looks like this:

.htaccess (mod_rewrite rules) index.php (interface) cfg.php (global configurations)

core/ (core scripts such as the template parser) library/ (PHP classes that are referenced within the templates) cache/ (container for parsed templates matched to URIs) template/ (container for pre-parsed templates matched to URIs)

Example template:

<xpc:date id="1" format="r" date="NOW" type="unix" />

 <xpc:cache file="/test2.html" time="3600" path="cache/" type="encode">

 	<xpc:include file="templates/inc/header.html"/>

 		Date :<xpc:date id="2" format="r" date="NOW" type="unix" /> 

		Uri: /test2.html

 	<xpc:include file="templates/inc/footer.html"/>

 </xpc:cache>

The only to notice for now is when you reference two of the same tagnames use a id attribute that is unique for each.

You may also notice that you can cache individual blocks of nested pre-parsed tags.

Each template file can have a corresponding macro file which will automatically be slurped by using the naming convention like so: template: index.html template's macros: index_mcr.html

The template tags "xpc:name_here" are all based in teh 'library' folder and all follow a similar pre-defined structure.

I will move the demo distro to a web serving box for public display shortly.
