Hello,

the classical template maker looks like this: ###PROJECT_ABSTRACT### .

"<h3>###PROJECT_ABSTRACT###<h3>"
If the project name is empty the resulting output is "<h3></h3>".

To suppress "<h3></h3>" you need to wrap it into a region and do some extra
programming tricks.

In php based template engines you could write:

<? if($projectName!=''): ?><h3><?=$projectName; ?></h3><? endif; ?>

Other template engines work on the base of XML tags.

What is already planned or done?

What do you propose the best direction to go with templating features?

A) Extending the ### System?
B) Develope of an XML variant?
C) Implementing smarty or a simlar tool more officialy?
D) Other idea
E) Doing nothing
