civet was an XHTML templating engine that I developed in 2014-2015. It was distributed as an egg (extension library) for Chicken Scheme. This is reference documentation for the Scheme API and the template language.

Teaching Materials

Textbook chapter on XML

This is not the final version, but it is the latest version I have. All diagrams, tables, and code examples are my original work.
