     6 * Why does not LAX have a template language ?
       
     7 
       
     8   It does. Actually, you can use your preferred template language if you
       
     9   want. [explain how to use a template language]
       
    10 
       
    11   The reason template languages are not used in this book is that
       
    12   experience has proved us that using pure python was more efficient.
       
    13 
       
    14 * Why do you think using pure python is better than using a template language ?

    28   data migrated from one schema to the other ever since]

    30 * Why is the RQL query language looking similar to X ?

    38 
       
    39 * `Error while publishing rest text ...`
       
    40   
       
    41   While modifying the description of an entity, you get an error message in 
       
    42   the application `Error while publishing ...` for Rest text and plain text.
       
    43   The server returns a traceback like as follows ::
       
    44 
       
    45       2008-10-06 15:05:08 - (erudi.rest) ERROR: error while publishing ReST text
       
    46       Traceback (most recent call last):
       
    47       File "/home/sandrine/src/blogdemo/ginco/common/rest.py", line 217, in rest_publish
       
    48       (...)
       
    49       File "/usr/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 817, in open
       
    50       file = __builtin__.open(filename, mode, buffering)
       
    51       TypeError: __init__() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given)
       
    52 
       
    53   This can be fixed by applying the patch described in :
