Question

That’s an HTML templater, not a php templater, not java or whatever.

I am looking for something like HAML for PHP. I tried the 2 projects for PHP, PHAML and PHPHaml both of which are suffering from serious bugs.

Do you know of any good html templater out there, preferably for PHP?

EDIT I”m looking for something that can turn this

<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>entry</p>
<blockquote>quote</blockquote>

to something like this

h1 : heading
p : entry
blockquote : quote 

something like what phphaml does

Answer 1

Why don’t you look at textile?

Look at the example syntax on the right hand side, here is an example…

h2{color:green}. This is a title

h3. This is a subhead

p{color:red}. This is some text of dubious character. Isn't the use of "quotes" just lazy writing -- and theft of 'intellectual property' besides? I think the time has come to see a block quote.

Converts to:

<h2 style="color:green;">This is a title</h2>

<h3>This is a subhead</h3>

<p style="color:red;">This is some text of dubious character. Isn&#8217;t the use of &#8220;quotes&#8221; just lazy writing&#8212;and theft of &#8216;intellectual property&#8217; besides? I think the time has come to see a block quote.</p>

There are other examples at the bottom of the right sidebar.
