Tenjin is a great templating library that gets not only cross platform but baseplane ability to make templating very similiar (and FAST) across many languages. pyTenjin and phpTenjin is currently what I am using but there are executions for Ruby, Perl and Javascript.

Here is a list of the Tenjin Templating engines:

• pyTenjin
• phpTenjin
• rbTenjin
• jsTenjin
• plTenjin

Here is what the template markup looks like:

This

<table>
<tbody>
<?py i = 0 ?>
<?py for item in ['<foo>', 'bar&bar', '"baz"']: ?>
<?py     i += 1 ?>
<tr>
<td>#{item}</td>
<td>${item}</td>
</tr>
<?py #end ?>
<tbody>

</table>

Produces This

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><foo></td>
<td>&lt;foo&gt;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bar&bar</td>
<td>bar&amp;bar</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"baz"</td>
<td>&quot;baz&quot;</td>
</tr>
<tbody>
</table>
