This Ada library implements a template expansion engine.
I wrote it because I needed it and nothing that I found satisfied me fully. Moreover, I had lots of fun (and work...) writing it ;-)
I like the final result (but I guess you can say I am partial to it). It is quite flexible and with a simple conceptual model and a syntax is very Ada-ish. At the moment it is not strongly typed, but rather duck-typed "a la Ruby."
I guess the best way to introduce you to this library is by means of a simple tutorial. Being this a library there are two different type of users
- Users that write templates to be expanded by the engine. We will call these users final users or simply users
- Programmers that include the library into a software of theirs. We will call these users programmers
It follows that we actually need two tutorials: one to explain to the users how to write templates and another to explain to the programmers how to include the library into a software. See
- The user tutorial in the
doc/directory for the user-level tutorial - A more precise language description can be found here
- The API description, still in the
doc/directory for the programming documentation - Example codes in
src/examples(to be written)
