[Buildbot-devel] Template system for HTML views (#342 and 1.0)

Hi,

It'd be nice to use a proper HTML template system, rather than manually 
concatenating pieces of text. (This has problems, like 
http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/342).

Also, for 1.0, it'd be good to build all the HTML from scratch using 
something nice that is easily customizable/extendable.

I've only got experience with Django's default tempalte system, which 
can be a bit limiting at times. (No comparison operators for instance.

Trac uses Genshi, an all python template library which I think is 
slightly xml-ified.

I'm sure there are others. Any preferences?

I'm asking because I'd like to muck about with it a bit, and it'd be 
nice to choose something suitable for all. :)

Cheers,
/Marcus
