Traditionally, for html templates, I would do something like this in a template.php file (i am coming from php):
*<div>* * Hello <?= $name ?>* *</div>* and reading through the docs for web2py, I see the classes like DIV(), which i can then add id's, classes, and other attributes to, to be rendered. Which seems odd to me. Ive always had the mindset that I shouldnt mix html template and logic. minus things like for loops and such. and in my code, I shouldnt generate html. Mixing them, to me at least, makes it harder for designers to go into the templates to style things and change id's, classes. I also tend not to use ids/classes for structure. lately i have been using things like data attributes to help with structure or looping through things. this way if styles change and id's/classes change, functionality is not broken. So should I still think that way? Should I not use DIV and the other html helper classes in my templates? or is there a use case where I would to that. If there is, I am curious to see/hear about some use cases or examples of why I would use them in templates, or use them in controllers to generate html. or am I just thinking about them wrong somehow. if they should be used in a different way, how should I use them. Thanks. --
