There have been several discussions on this list on the topic - for
example, look through
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/1ef4eea826f3a1f6/dc6d1b52b31fa196?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=template+engine#dc6d1b52b31fa196
I think a raesonable summary is:
- web2py's templating, being very close to just being Python, is
likely to continue to be default for some time;
- some people have written tools to convert skins for other templates
to convert to web2py, so if it's available graphic designs you want,
that's one way to go
- there has been talk about still allowing an interface for other
engines.
I think interest (beyond one of discussion) has not been strong enough
for someone to identify all the core web2py things that would have to
be moved into a module, and rewritten for another template engine.
This has spurned talk and work about modules for web2py, T2 being one
example. It has not yet spurned a design analysis of where all the
boundaries are, and what it would take to implement that.
As for documentation, there's Chapter 5 of the web2py book... but
basically, the template language is python, the helper functions are
named after HTML, so you can discover them and use them as you would
expect (<h2>This Heading</h2> ==> H2('This Heading') ) with all the
named paramteres that w3c defines to h2 (for example) mirrored in
H2(). There is a genshi translator (search these forums) and there
is also Massimo's quick demonstraton of a layout builder - see the
link on http://www.web2py.com . The builder has a link on it to
download the result of your layout experimentation.
Those are probably good starting places.
Hope this was helpful.

Yarko
