I find this somewhat confusing. Do you know of XSLT? It looks pretty much the same (no side-effects, support for recursive template substitution, etc.), except for many-many details (syntax, functions, etc.). :)

Do you think it is better to compute everything outside of templates? And how about treating output as a document (not a raw string)? I suppose it would reduce the number of common syntactical errors, as well as provide some output validation.

Take a look at the types in Data.Map, for example, insert is k -> a -> Map k a -> Map k a. This order supports currying of the template, so I can do:

setMyAttributes = setAttribute “key1″ “value1″ . setAttribute “key2″ “value2″

Instead of:

setMyAttributes t = setAttribute (setAttribute “key2″ “value2″ t) “key1″ “value1″

I am a newbie Haskell user and I am finding this library quite useful, thanks.

How about changing:

setAttribute “key” “value” template

to

setAttribute template “key” “value”

to better support currying?
