C Implementation about mustache HOT 8 CLOSED

That would be sick. One thing to keep in mind (and I'm about to open issues so everyone else knows) is that I want to support customizing the grammar.

You should be able to use any delimiters, like <% and %> instead of {{ and }}, and you should be able to change what tag indicators mean, like # is a comment instead of ! and < starts a section while > ends it.

ctemplate has similar support and it looks really fun.

hmmmm I will have to think about the best way to handle that. It would be no problem with macros but with peg you cant really support dynamic grammars (that i know of)

Just added #8 and #9. Sorry to make it hard :)

haha no worries. I agree with the delimiters, but as for changing the rest wouldnt that just make it harder for other people to read? I will see what I can do :D

You mentioned in #9 that doing anything dynamically is hard in the C implementation. Just wanted to point out that changing delimiters does happen dynamically. The reason is so you can use the same template with different views or in different apps without having to tweak your Ruby code (e.g. self.delimiters = ['{{', '}}'] or somesuch).

Does this throw a wrench in the C idea?

from mustache.

Not sure what you mean. You wanted to support '{{' and '<%', could we just support them both arbitrarily, without even having any kind of configuration?

Check the "Set Delimiter" documentation in http://github.com/defunkt/mustache/blob/delimiters/README.md - that might explain what I mean better.

I'm going to close this out for now. Please re-open or send a pull request when you're ready.
