Questions tagged [template-tal]

TAL (Template Attribute Language) is a XML-attribute based templating language standard, used by Zope Page Templates, Chameleon and other templating libraries.

A sister language METAL (Macro Expansion Template Attribute Language) adds macro capabilities to TAL; use the tag for questions specific to macro handling.
