So when I was redoing the grammar I did not do anything for XHTML compatibility. It should mostly work, but my plan for XHTML is to either let it use the XML grammar or a variant of it specific for XHTML. Because of the differences between the standard HTML and XHTML I think this is the best solution. But I don’t have a good grasp on what the common use case for XHTML is these days, it may solely be template cases such as in your case.

This said your case is different because you are talking about using a template system. The HTML grammar nor a potential XHTML grammar won’t be designed to support template tags. For template languages you will need a specific grammar to properly match and recognize the tags. Can you post a link to the template system you are using and your general usage of XHTML in general so I can get a feel of it? (If you don’t want to post it publicly you can email me at support.)
