lua-CodeGen is a "safe" template engine.

lua-CodeGen enforces a strict Model-View separation. Only 4 primitives are supplied :

• attribute reference,
• template include,
• conditional include
• and template application (i.e., map operation).

lua-CodeGen allows to split template in small chunk, and encourages the reuse of them by inheritance.

Each chunk of template is like a rule of a grammar for an unparser generator.

lua-CodeGen is not dedicated to HTML, it could generate any kind of textual code.
