hi there!
can you mention template engine that you`re using in your kotlin project? (pros\cons would be a plus :smiley: )

Nice way of working with a DSL. And easy to create custom functions for elements.

Didn't use yet, but looks promising: <https://github.com/casid/jte>

Latest release includes Kotlin support

<@U75TBDP16> not sure that this one is good option for me - i’m going to create string values as result

<@U01363E29UG> with same thoughts I’ve added <https://korlibs.soywiz.com/korte/> recently

tnx for reply!

I’ve used Freemarker for a while. Really cumbersome. Can’t recommend.

Migrated everything to `kotlinx-html` for the moment.
PDF and email generation.

<@U1UQX3JCC> still my goal is get plain string(after few additional `if` and `when` , maybe with some formatting) =) I’ve started previewing  thymeleaf with their text mode and the thing that force me to try korte was this include trick
```key1 to [(\${#numbers.formatDecimal(bigdecimalBlaBLaVar,1,2)})][(\${blaBlaVar})]",
key2 to +[(\${#numbers.formatDecimal(bigdecimalBlaBLaVar,1,2)})][(\${blablablah})] **[#th:block th:replace=\"key1\"][/th:block]** "```
it was really tricky to find it, and also looks like thymeleaf is an overhead for my case
btw - this how it looks with kotre
```+{{ formatAmount(blabla) }}{{ blablablah }}{% include \"key1\" %}```

I'd recommend not to use something that brings it's own language. That way you lose all the type safety, auto completion and functionality of Kotlin that you can use in a Kotlin DSL-based template solution.

Sincerely, I just used Kotlin’s multi-line string interpolation and it worked well for my needs without importing a templating library.
