SCALATE-28 support the mapping of an XML element to a function

Description

« Hide

folks might want to create templates using pure XML, using custom tags (mapping namespaces/elements to function calls) and the ${foo} notation for expressions.

So rather than a custom parser as we have now for SSP, we can have something which parsers the XML and transforms elements based on their namespaces (and looks for ${foo} expressions too).

We could then process things like this...

<html xmlns:foo="scala:org.acme.MyTags"> 
 ... 
 <foo:cheese blah="123"> 
   ... 
   ${something} 
   ... 
 </foo:cheese> 
</html>

which would translate to the equivalent of this in SSP

<html>
<% import org.acme.MyTags._ %> 
 ... 
 <%= cheese(blah="123")  { %> 
   ... 
   ${something} 
   ... 
 <% } %>
</html>
