Repleo: A syntaxsafe template engine

Templates are a very common solution to generate code. They are used for different tasks like rendering webpages, creating Java Beans and so on. Most template systems have no notion of the ob-ject language and just generate text. The drawback of this approach is the possibility to generate syntactical incorrect code. This can lead to all kinds of annoying errors. In this paper we present an approach for a syntax safe template engine. Syntax safety guarantees that the generated code can be correctly parsed. To ensure this we use the object language gram-mar to evaluate the template
