Leonardo Laguna Ruiz announced:Pla is a simple library and ppx syntax extension to create composable templates based on verbatim strings. You can find the code and a quick description of it’s features https://modlfo.github.io/pla/ In a nutshell, the ppx transforms quoted strings in the form {pla| .... |pla} to templates. Inside templates it’s possible to add markers whose contents is replaced by other templates, for example: let name = Pla.string "pla" ;; let t = {pla|The library name is <#name#>|pla} ;; will produce "The library name is Pla" When compiled, the markers are type-safe. Pla does not provide advanced pretty-printing features but it produces fast functions to create large amounts of text.
