PEAR HTML_Template_IT is a simple template API. The Isotemplate API is somewhat tricky for a beginner although it is the best one you can build.

template::parse() [phplib template = Isotemplate] requests you to name a source and a target where the current block gets parsed into.

Source and target can be block names or even handler names. PEAR HTML_Template_IT gives you a maximum of fexibility but you always have to know what you do which is quite unusual for php skripter like me.

I noticed that I do not any control on which block gets parsed into which one. If all blocks are within one file, the script knows how they are nested and in which way you have to parse them. IT knows that inner1 is a child of block2, there's no need to tell him about this.

Here are some key features of "PEAR HTML Template IT":
Nested blocks
Include external file
Custom tags format (default {mytag})

What's New in This Release:
Allows dots in placeholder and block names.
The same object can now be used for multiple templates.
Deprecates the $callbackobject parameter in setCallbackFunction.
