Hi,

I just could not resist not to try myself Smile

Here is the minimal code that works:

#include <Skylark/Skylark.h>

using namespace Upp;

void test() {
	ValueArray va;
	va.Add(1);
	va.Add("Hello");
	ValueMap m;
	m.Add("key1", "first value");
	m.Add("key2", "second value");
	
	Renderer r;
	r("MyValue", "some value")
	    ("MyRawValue", Raw("<b>raw <u>html</u></b>"))
	    ("MyRawValue2", "<b>another raw <u>html</u></b>")
	    ("MyArray", va)
	    ("MyMap", m);
	DUMP(r.RenderString("Skylark02/index"));
}

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN {
	StdLogSetup(LOG_FILE|LOG_COUT);
	SkylarkApp dummy;
	test();
}

There are two "interesting" things to notice: 1) Exactly one SkylarkApp instance must exist for the template engine to work. That is because there is a global variable used to access configuration. And 2) The code must be compiled with MT flag, because the Skylark package is (not surprisingly) written to be used with threads.

So the solution works, but it is kind of a hack Smile

It might be actually useful, if the templating code could be refactored into separate package. Applications generating HTML (that are not servers) are quite common. What do you think Mirek, is it possible?
