Magro

Magro is a template engine for python that uses a very lean and easy to learn syntax.

Take for example the following piece of code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

import 'web'
 
html4strict:
    head:
        title: "This is a sample page"
        css('css/style.css')
        js('js/jquery.js')
    body:
        [ posts ]:
            blog_post( $value )
 
 
def blog_post( entry ):
    div( class='blog-post'):
        h1: entry.title
        [ entry.paragraphs ]:
            p: $value

Will generate something like:

1
2
3

5
