no error handling ????
what i am asking, can it to standard template blocks aswell, like you have a main template and can add template blocks from a seperate template ? to keep it fasttemplate freiendly , and also can it be html programmer or designer friendly still say with simple vars like {myvar} instead of tedious logic that only a developer can understand ?

but is also html programmer friendly and can still do template block
style templating like fasttemplate or phemplate. I am trying to move
people who have been using fasttemplate to a more efficient system,
although these two systems have logic inside the templating.
You're verging on a religious war here...
My predictions: 1) 25% respond in favor of HTML_Template_Flexy 2) 25% respond in favor of Smarty 3) 25% respond in favor of different templating solutions altogether 4) 25% respond asking why you need a templating system at all when you have PHP
As for my own leanings -- we use Smarty where I work, and I like its
flexibility and the ease with which I can integrate it with regular HTML
(I particularly like that it doesn't use angle brackets as its
delimiters -- makes it easy to spot Smarty directives in the template).
My one complaint about it: no error handling. I wish it had error
handling ala PEAR -- occasionally I get errors in Smarty that end up
being hard to debug due to the complexity of the templates and/or number
of templates we're using to generate a page.
