That said, if your use cases are more inline with Jaxml then use it. I would hesitate to call it a templating language though as the xml only exists at run time. It is really a very clever leveraging of Python syntax to generate xml. So it is aimed squarely at Python programmers as opposed to ZPT which aims at web developers who may not be "programmers".
What I like best about it (Jaxml) is being completely isolated from any icky SGML syntax ;^), which as you can tell I am not terribly fond of...
JAXML also offers two different templating mechanisms if you prefer to use this functionnalities : one with external templates, the other with late binding of anything, even plain-text portions of the current document. These two mechanisms aren't completely tested, any bug report is welcome.
A more general question about it: can it generate DTDs?
Not automatically, unfortunately, but you can always use the _text() method to put plain text into the document. bye Jerome Alet
