v5 v6 1 = Comparing Markupto Kid =1 = Comparing Genshi to Kid = 2 2 3 The [wiki:MarkupTemplates template engine] in Markupwas heavily inspired by Kid (http://kid-templating.org).3 The XML-based template engine in Genshi was heavily inspired by Kid (http://kid-templating.org). 4 4 5 5 Common concepts and features: … … 13 13 * No generation of Python code for a template; the template is executed directly. 14 14 * No support for `<?python ?>` processing instructions 15 * Expressions are evaluated in a more flexible manner, meaning you can use e.g. dotted notation to access items in a dictionary, and the other way around (see the [source:/trunk/ markup/eval.py markup.eval] module)15 * Expressions are evaluated in a more flexible manner, meaning you can use e.g. dotted notation to access items in a dictionary, and the other way around (see the [source:/trunk/genshi/eval.py genshi.eval] module) 16 16 * Proper scoping of variables. Names do not leak into outer scopes. 17 17 * Use of XInclude and match templates instead of Kid's `py:extends` / `py:layout` directives 18 * `py:match` directives use (basic) XPath expressions to match against input nodes, making match templates more powerful while keeping the syntax simple (see the [source:/trunk/markup/path.py markup.path] module)18 * `py:match` directives use (basic) XPath expressions to match against input nodes, making match templates more powerful while keeping the syntax simple (see [wiki:Documentation/xpath.html Using XPath in Genshi]) 19 19 * Additional directives `py:choose` / `py:when` / `py:otherwise` to better support multi-branch conditionals (aka ''if, else if, else''). 20 * It is possible to include markup that is not well-formed in the output (which you may need to do in [http://pyre.third-bit.com/blog/archives/000417.html some] [http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/f8c0c9800b6aabae/ca12dea6a9729da9?lnk=gst&q=kid+questions&rnum=1 cases]). And if you need to include bad HTML markup but would like to still produce valid output, Markupprovides a ''HTML-sanitizing'' stream filter.20 * It is possible to include markup that is not well-formed in the output (which you may need to do in [http://pyre.third-bit.com/blog/archives/000417.html some] [http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/f8c0c9800b6aabae/ca12dea6a9729da9?lnk=gst&q=kid+questions&rnum=1 cases]). And if you need to include bad HTML markup but would like to still produce valid output, Genshi provides a ''HTML-sanitizing'' stream filter. 21 21 * Real (thread-safe) search path support 22 22 * No dependency on ElementTree (due to the lack of position reporting) … … 24 24 25 25 Other minor syntactic changes (useful when converting): 26 * The XML Namespace used is `http:// markup.edgewall.org/`, not `http://purl.org/kid/ns#"`26 * The XML Namespace used is `http://genshi.edgewall.org/`, not `http://purl.org/kid/ns#"` 27 27 * `py:attrs` takes a dictionary argument or list of tuples but doesn't support keyword arguments in the form `name=value` 28 28 29 ---- 29 See also: MarkupFaq, MarkupPerformance30 See also: GenshiFaq, GenshiPerformance, [wiki:Documentation]
