Tīmekļa vietnēs izmantojamās sagatavju (template) sistēmas var rupji iedalīt divās kategorijās - tādās, kas ievieš savu jauno, īpašo sintaksi, sev vien specifisku mini-valodu, un tādās, kas ievieš jaunas iezīmes, kurās var iekļaut "dzīvu" kādas programmēšanas valodas kodu. Abām pieejām ir plusi un mīnusi, abām pieejām ir piekritēji un ienaidnieki.

IN-LINE: Mini-languages are stupid. I already know Perl and it's easy enough. Why would you want to use something different?
MINI-LANG: Because my HTML coder doesn't know Perl, and this is easier for him.
IN-LINE: Maybe he should learn some Perl. He'd get paid more.
MINI-LANG: Whatever. You just want to use in-line Perl so you can handle change requests by putting little hacks in the template instead of changing your modules. That's sloppy coding.
IN-LINE: That's efficient coding. I can knock out data editing screens in half the time it takes you, and then I can go back through, putting all the in-line code into modules and just have the templates call them.
MINI-LANG: You could, but you won't.
IN-LINE: Is it chilly up there in that ivory tower?
MINI-LANG: Go write some VBScript, weenie.

Un vēl nejauši pamanīju, šeit nu gan izskatās pavisam nesmuki.
