8.4 Syntax reference
8.4.1 Basic rules
8.4.1.1 Templates are valid XML files
The Kauri template language is XML-based.
A template file must be a well-formed XML file. So you cannot do things like:
<html>
<body ${some expr}="value">
<t:if test="${some expr}">
</body>
</t:if>
</html>
The errors in the above snippet are that you can't create dynamic variable names this way, and that the body and t:if elements are not properly nested.
8.4.1.2 Namespace for template instructions
A simple template might contain just some ${...} expressions, but as soon as you want to use any instructions, you will need to declare the Kauri template namespace, which is:
http://kauriproject.org/template
Here's an example of how to bind the namespace to the "t" prefix and use instructions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns:t="http://kauriproject.org/template">
<t:forEach begin="1" end="5" step="2">
<p>do something</p>
</t:forEach>
</root>
