Or ideas or comments on how to fix the problem with the syntax I came up
with.
Can you possibly have a look at HAML? It is a basic language that makes
HTML 'simpler' and allow variables, if, foreach :
http://haml-lang.com/
It comes from the ruby on rails community but has an implementation in
PHP :
http://phphaml.sourceforge.net/ The page has an example :-)
Might be better than reinventing the wheel.
Another possibility will be to generate an XML document and apply a XSLT
stylesheet on it. But I am not sure it will make things easier.
PS: CSS have a similar abstract language:
http://sass-lang.com/
