UBBMarkup makes mixing PHP and HTML easy by staying in the world of PHP. UBBMarkup is not really a template engine. Think of it as a special print() function, just for HTML.
I started this project because mixing PHP and HTML drove me nuts. I don't like escaping and I don't like to end and begin the php parts of one file. But I also don't want to use a third language extra for templateing. So this is my take on it.
m("section.meta"); /* <section class="meta"> */
m("/section"); /* </section> */
m("title", "Web Page"); /* <title>Web Page</title> */
m("a", "href", "http://apple.com", "Apple"); /* <a href="http://apple.com">Apple</a> */
m("option", "selected", true, "Yes"); /* <option selected>Yes</option> */
m("option", "selected", false, "No"); /* <option>No</option> */
m("#content"); /* <div id="content"> */
m("/"); /* </div> */
m("article#post.featured", "class", "new"); /* <article id="post" class="featured new"> */
m("/article"); /* </article> */
m("body", "class", ""); /* <body> */- First argument is the tag
- The following arguments are interpreted as pairs of attributes and values
- If the last argument is not a value it is intepreted as inner text and the tag gets closed after it
m(tag, attribute, value, attribute, value, attribute, value);
m(tag, attribute, value, attribute, value, inner text);
m(tag, inner text);require_once "class.ubbmarkup.php";

// Define Global Convenience Function
function m() {
print(call_user_func_array(array($GLOBALS["ubb_markup"], "create_element"), func_get_args()));
}

// $m = function() use ($ubb_markup) {
