What templating engines are available for ASP.NET MVC Framework?

I was reading some posts on Coding Horror blog about working with the horrors of tag soup. It seems like the only way to simplify html generation is to use a templating engine.

Do you know any templating engine for ASP.NET MVC framework?

From stackoverflow
  • think your question is answered perfectly in an older topic here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173207/best-template-engine-for-aspnet-mvc

    Spoike : Yeah, but I find it to be quite out-dated (with answers several months before Release Candidate) and not a community wiki post.
  • there are many view engines for asp.net mvc framework:

    • Web forms view engine(default)
    • Spark view engine
    • Nhamle view engine
    • … all community contributions on the asp.net mvc framework including view engines can be found on

    http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib

    Simon : this answer makes it seem like spark and nhaml (note without 'e') are part of the mvc contrib project which is not the case.
  • StringTemplate is a decent alternative.

    Here's the ViewEngine (with Source), and some tutorials.

  • NDjango - django templates in .net
