Pascal,

Don't template_parser mixing code and HTML ?
template_parser have own code inside of HTML too.
We have to mix languages anyway, becouse dynamic data
provided by non-HTML languages.

Sure, the languages should be mixed very carrifully,
but it is a Web Design Issue.

If we are making dynamic pages inside of AWS callback,
we have mix language Ada and HTML (make HTML output in Ada language).

if we are making dynamic pages from template parser, we have to mix
template parser language

and HTML.

Template_Parser internal language is far from Ada functionality.
So why don't have Ada inside of HTML ?
It is not possible to have DB access from template parser now.
If we would have Ada inside of HTML, we would have ready to use
DB access from dynamic HTML pages.
