This page collects information about Tcl applications and libraries that facilitate the processing of templates and/or macro files.

A dedicated T/M processor is [expand] by [William Duquette]. '''Note''': The core of expand was added to [tcllib]/[textutil].

'''Tmac''' http://www.tclbuzz.com/v0/tmac is a general purpose macro package for expanding and substituting Tcl code. - Roy Terry, 2 April 2003. There is also a wiki page devoted to tmac and to comments, suggestions and discussion: [Tmac - a Tcl macro processor package]

Two tcl based webservers, [TclHttpd] by [Brent Welch] and the [Kinetic Application Processor] by [AsiaInfo], incorporate template processors as a means to serve pages with dynamic content and to allow the imposition of a site-wide look & feel.

It is unclear how these three processors compare in features, speed and other facilities.

Lest anyone forget, the Apache Software Foundation also has a project that utilizes Tcl as a web scripting language: [mod_dtcl]

[nstcl] implements the [OpenACS] templating system.

[Sugar] is a lisp-like macro system for Tcl.
