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] (see also [Apache] [Rivet] for the successor to mod_dtcl).

[nstcl] implements the [OpenACS] templating system.

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