The first time one needs to rework the HTML for look and feel in an application, one quickly learns about the need for separating the HTML from the application code. HTML Mapping was an attempt at this, however, there is still the need for a Progress Development License as well re-compiling on changed code.
Other languages have encountered this need – PHP with the Smarty template processor as well the various one's used in the C and C++ world. These processors do not require re-compiling and allow for HTML designers to work outside of the application code environment.
Thus comes Voleso, a tool that allows developers to separate their code from the HTML of the web page. Voleso is influenced by the PHP Smarty template system. This is because of the language some elements cannot be exact (for example display() in Smarty cannot be accomplished because it is a keyword in the ABL), however those familiar with Smarty should be functional with Voleso quickly.
Why Smarty? Because it is expected there will be a lot more designers familiar Smarty than other systems.
