This is Stuplates

the stupid template system

Stuplates is meant to make it easier to parameterize and factor out common elements of a website, with an eye towards offline generation of static web pages.

See docs/building.txt for build instructions.

See docs/running.txt for running instructions.

See docs/synsem.txt for syntax and semantics information.

This is still a work-in-progress. Expect it to change before stabilizing.

Version 0.18 was released on August 13, 2002.
