The major difference is that you can inline data references simply by using the "$" prefix on a variable name:
Hello, my name is $name
When rendered, "$name" is replaced by the value of the name field in the object passed into the template by the caller.
So if the above html was in a template called "mytemplate.html" in the root of your application, you could invoke via :
local.mytemplate({name : "bob"});
with the resulting output :
Hello, my name is bob
The only real benefit of html over jxp or djang10 is if you wanted to make an existing set of html pages dynamic, by adding the $variable_name in the
right places in the documents.
We recommend that when creating a new application, you use the djang10 template framework.
