Jinja isn't compatible with django templates. It uses a parser for the
tag arguments and features some other syntax elements like {% marker %}
/ {% range %}...
For my colubrid projects I wanted to have a django spin off with a
improved argument handling. For example it's possible to do this:
<table>
{% for variable in list %}
<tr class="{% cycle 'row1', 'row2', 'row3', variable inline %}">
<th>{{ variable.text | replace "demo", "other" | escapexml
}}</th>
<td>{% print variable.value | escapexml %}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
Heiko Wundram worked hard on a easy to extend argument parser which is
explained here: http://wsgiarea.pocoo.org/jinja/docs/tag-dev.html

Because it's a complete rewrite. I started it for improving my python
skills and because I was sick of kid and cheeath ^^ I don't think that
it can replace / should replace the current template sytem.

appendix: because of my bad english i've copied and modified some parts
of the django template documentation. Sorry for that, I will rewrite
those parts in the next days.
