[Typo3-dev] Better templating: PHP!

[Sven Wilhelm]

Hi,

sorry that I didn't read the whole thread, but it's a very long one.

I don't know if I understand the questions right, but it seems to me 
that the questions are the style of a template language and the 
questions who has access to templates inside typo3.

For the first part I asked a few weeks ago if the Template Abstract 
Language would not be a better choice for a template systems inside 
TYPO3 as it divides logic and templating very strict. It's one reason 
for the power of Zope. As TAL defines a set of attributes in an own 
namespace you an validate a TAL enriched XHTML/XML template in any 
stage. With the right development tools it could be possible that a 
designer with an xml capable editor can insert the dynamic markers 
without deeper knowledge of the template language.

Inside TYPO3 it would be a xml template processing.

For TemplaVoila it could be a nice way to only insert this additional 
attributes into the html template as a human designer would do.

For the access question:
Is it really a problem to give a non admin user or a semi-admin user 
control over parts of the template system? Generic question is: "Is the 
binding of the template system to the admin user really a good choice or 
would it be better to grant a role such as Designer to a certain user?"

Kind regards.

Sven
