teg!

teg is a something I made more of as a joke that has grown into a completely usable web templating language made entirely in AWK.

There's bugs. Mostly ones that I don't know about. Some I know of, but won't fix because that would require adding hundreds more lines of code to teg. (example: inline calls cannot contain a ! inside)

Documentation

Refer to docs.teg (convert to html using ./teg.awk docs.teg > docs.html)

How do I use this

Manually convert a .teg file into .html:

./teg.awk file.teg > output.html

Or use as CGI: (lighttpd)

cgi.assign = ( ".teg" => "/opt/teg/teg.awk" )
index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.teg", "main.teg" )
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".teg" )

... and now .teg files will be automatically formatted (as long as you have teg in /opt/teg/teg.awk)

Usage as an AWK library

Since the v1.8 update, teg can be used as a library in GAWK.

Read up on the latest chapter in the docs.teg file and for an example of library usage check extra/library_use.awk

Pull requests

I would be very thankful! teg has grown to be a giant mess of a project with me just stacking whatever I need on top of what I've made before.

But please, don't be afraid! If you want to add something new, go on and do it!
