Perhaps you can send me down the righ path?
I want my users to be able to send emails from their iPads, and those emails would be generated based on templates. There will be many such templates built in, and eventually users will be able to hire web developer-type person to make custom templates.
My thinking was that PHP is the most popular language for that sort of thing, so it would be nice if could support that. My second choice is handlebars. I'm not sure if JSX would do the job?
Any thoughts appreciated.

- jwdunne 10y agoIf solely for templating emails, I would go with handlebars. You could use PHP but then you have a whole host of other stuff that you don't want or need in a templating language.
- my_ghola 10y agoPHP is not a templating language. You can build a template engine with it, but then, you can build one with any other language. If your app is in swift or objective-c, look into template libraries for those languages. Simple Google search tells me there's a couple of options including one using handlebar's format.
- DenisM 10y agoHow is this not a template? It generates valId HTML out of data. <?php for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) { echo "The number is: $x <br>"; } ?>

- bencoder 10y agoI don't think there are implementations of twig outside of PHP, so this isn't useful for the op

- nathan_f77 10y agoIf you just need formatting without logic, then you could use something like Markdown. Someone else already mentioned GRMustache [1], and that looks pretty good. I'm not sure if there is an iOS version, but you could look for something like liquid [2]. I think liquid is usually a better choice for user-controlled templates, especially when you're rendering on a server. But if they're just compiling the templates on their own device, then handlebars (GRMustache) would be the right way to go.
