Hi, Regarding the Sage Notebook, I propose that we use a templating engine instead of using Python string templates class and writing HTML code in the Python code. I have converted the existing templates in Extcode to templates that use the Jinja engine, see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3923. I also moved the HTML for the Account Settings page to a Jinja template, see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3937.
I think using Jinja makes the Python code more readable. In addition, I like be able to create a base template that other templates build upon. Plus it's nice to be able to use for loops and if statements in the templates. I use both in the templates at the two tickets. Jinja is a clone of the templating engine used in the most popular Python web framework Django. I am very interested in the possibility of migrating the Sage Notebook to Django. Moving all the Notebook's HTML to Jinja templates is the first step in migrating. If Sphinx, a documentation system, is distributed with Sage then Jinja would also be.
