[stringtemplate-interest] ANTLR feedback

[Terence Parr]

Hi Brian,

Well, ST of the model really. It's up to you to provide a controller  
that reads from the model and pushes into the template. you could do  
something like $node.x$ where node is a node in the XML tree and then  
property x would be the child named x. you could fake out ST this way  
to make it read xml tree data.

Remember though that you really don't want to do processing in the  
templates and by walking collocated XML data structures, you're kind  
of combining the model/controller with the view.
