Can we use Template engine for Get-Simple need suggestion from GS Team

[ale]

I think I'll create a "fork" of the GS Blog with the use of the small RainTPL Engine and upload it for demonstration.
I think people are afraid things will be too complicated and because they have no examples they can't truly make their mind up to something new.

well, using a template engine, makes indeed the code a bit more complex, because the author has to take care to separate the logic from the presentation and can't simply output the data as soon it's ready.

so, simple, straightforward scripts are not possible anymore.

but, at the same time, it forces the programmer to think a bit more about the structure of her code. and it's very likely that the code becomes much easier to read and maintain.

still, i tend to prefer those tiny template engines that allow to use php itself in the template :-)

good luck with the blog plugin!
