A templating system that embeds haXe into a text document using a similar syntax as eRuby. Uses hscript for parsing haXe in runtime.

<% 
for( i in 0...3 ) 
	print( "hello world " + i + "\n\" ); 
%>

hello world 0
hello world 1
hello world 2

<% 
intro = "hello world ";
for( i in 0...3 ) 
	print( intro + i + "\n" ); 
%>

hello world 0
hello world 1
hello world 2

<% str = "hey" %>
<p><%= str %></p>

<p>hey</p>

<% for( str in ["a","b","c"] ) { %>
<p><%= str %></p>
<% } %>

<p>a</p>
<p>b</p>
<p>c</p>

% for( i in 0...3 )
% 	print( i + "\n" );

• Allow for changing the "%" into any other character (like "$" to make it php-style)
• Refactor the code instead of just copying the ihx-project CmdProcessor.
• Give proper errors if it could not properly render, containing:
  • line numbers
  • column position
  • stacktrace
  • a small excerpt surrounding the "failed area" would be ideal.
• Allow for adding more contexts (like if we have a "Helper"-class besides the passed in context)
• Write more tests, more specific and bigger fixtures.
• Add a command line version:
  • May pass in a file path as an argument.
  • May pass the text stream with STDIN (pipe-friendly).
  • Returns the converted file to STDOUT (pipe-friendly).
  • Need to be able to pass a "context" into it, maybe using hscript or json? -context or -ctx arguments, may be file paths or a direct string?.
  • Can be run either by using the "ehx"-executable (nekotools boot) or haxelib run ehx (is it possible to pass arguments?)
  • Problem with making an executable (atleast when using my macports): dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../lib/libneko.dylib
• To be able to ignore the output of the line with the <%%>, like with <% -%> in erb. For a cleaner output.
• Allow to pass a context with JSON format (mostly to the executable).
• Fix the problems with using the -ctx argument, the arguments get stripped of " and ' and is split on spaces. STDIN way still works though.
