[8:26] <hannesw_> looking at PURE - http://wiki.github.com/pure/pure
[8:26] <hannesw_> for a simple templating engine, it's quite complicated I think
[8:34] <oberhamsi> i like do advertise our pureskin :) which is like pure but simpler
[8:34] <oberhamsi> http://github.com/oberhamsi/pureskin
[8:34] <hannesw_> oberhamsi: where is ... ok :)
[8:37] <hannesw_> oberhamsi: the index.html code looks a bit verbose
[8:37] <hannesw_> i think that's the price you pay for "pure html" templating?
[8:39] <oberhamsi> how do you mean? i always felt it's less verbous than classical templating with extra-template-tags
[8:44] <hannesw_> well, there's a lot of code in index.html (is that the only documentation, btw?) for the amount of output generated.
[8:46] <oberhamsi> index.html is the only documentation :) it behaves like pure minus the looping stuff
[8:47] <hannesw_> i think I'm not a big fan of this approach.
[8:47] <hannesw_> makes the html (template) look nice and clean
[8:47] <hannesw_> but supporting code gets complex fast
[8:47] <hannesw_> am i wrong?
[8:48] <oberhamsi> hm, it's our favorite clientside approach so far
[8:48] <hannesw_> ok, i can see that
[8:48] <hannesw_> but do you envision using this (or something like it) on the server?
[8:48] <oberhamsi> no :)
[8:52] <hannesw_> oberhamsi: "." directive means the content of the selected element?
[8:52] <hannesw_> how would you select a nested element?
[8:53] <hannesw_> i see : "td.id"
[8:55] <hannesw_> forgetting you're in crunchmode :)
[8:56] <oberhamsi> selectors jquery syntax
[8:57] <oberhamsi> the dot is for selecting attributes, like img.src or td.id or div.class
[8:58] <oberhamsi> no totally wrong
[8:59] <oberhamsi> we have crunch-pause in afternoon :)
[8:59] <oberhamsi> td.id is really jquery selector style, $("td.id")
[8:59] <oberhamsi> the only thing special is the @ syntax
[9:00] <oberhamsi> img.foo@src for examples means "i want to set the src of img with class foo"
[9:00] <oberhamsi> its really jquery selectors + this @ magic
[9:49] <hannesw_> what would be a good name for helma-ng api doc on google app engine?
[9:49] <hannesw_> helmadoc.appspot.com
[9:49] <hannesw_> ?
[9:50] <hannesw_> helma-doc.appspot.com?
[9:50] <hannesw_> ngdoc? ng-doc?
[9:53] <hannesw_> well, i went with helma-doc
[9:53] <hannesw_> http://helma-doc.appspot.com/
