 Python is the templating language that we use in *CubicWeb*, but again,
 it does not prevent you from using a templating language.
 
-The reason template languages are not used in this book is that
-experience has proved us that using pure python was less cumbersome.
+Moreover, CubicWeb currently supports `simpletal`_ out of the box and
+it is also possible to use the `cwtags`_ library to build html trees
+using the `with statement`_ with more comfort than raw strings.

 Using Python instead of a template langage for describing the user interface
 makes it to maintain with real functions/classes/contexts without the need of
 learning a new dialect. By using Python, we use standard OOP techniques and
 this is a key factor in a robust application.

 Why do you use the LGPL license to prevent me from doing X ?

 LGPL means that *if* you redistribute your application, you need to
 redistribute the changes you made to CubicWeb under the LGPL licence.
 
-Publishing a web site has nothing to do with redistributing
-source code. A fair amount of companies use modified LGPL code

-clients.
