When I read that title, all I could think of was the apocryphal "Can I use HTML with variables to make a hockey MMO" thread from GameDev.net.



This one is even older, but I'm still not sure its the original http://www.gamedev.net/topic/128827-variables-vs-html/page-3


That's the one!


I really think you should use Variables++ instead.

The sad thing is, XML, and thus XHTML, has this. And it's nowhere near as ugly as this, which is saying something, because "lol, XML".

If what a person wants is cross-referenced elements in an XML document, then that's what they should use: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950811.aspx

If what a person wants is logic in their HTML, then they're standing on a slippery slope that ends in Classic ASP, PHP, and other wailings and gnashing of teeths.
