Hello,

Just letting people know about a project of mine - a new templating  
language; Renshi. See [http://github.com/biv/renshi/tree/master](http://github.com/biv/renshi/tree/master) . It’s  
also available via gem installation through rubyforge.

It was originally modelled on Python’s Genshi, although it turned out  
rather differently. It’d be useful for dev.s who work with HTML handed  
to them, or who find ERB a bit onerous - e.g. $foo is the same as \<%=  
foo %\>.

It’s early days yet with it, but it’s functional.

The README at github should explain everything.

Regards,  
Nicholas
