After reading the paper referenced in http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/04/120230.php I decided to set about implementing something similar to it in C++.
You can see the current results here: http://magila.googlepages.com/template.zip
It uses Spirit for parsing and AST generation and Property Tree for storing the dynamic data. Still on my todo list is making the character type a template parameter, currently everything just uses char. Also expand() should probably be made a free function.
FWIW, the QuickBook template engine was inspired by Terrence Parr's template engine. It's a bit more flexible, though, in the sense that the the template declarations and definitions are both part of the language. It is, in theory, turing complete. Rene Rivera is using it to target different backends. Also, the current development on Spirit2 named Karma is also inspired by it. Karma is a fully static, expression template rendition of it using a syntax almost similar to Spirit's. It will debut on BoostCon.
