Hi,

I use XQuery as  generator for my homepage.

An XQuery query behaves exactly like a site template: 
https://github.com/benibela/site/blob/master/style.xq.html

The content can be stored in XML files and each evaluation of the query 
returns an HTML page. Just some glue (an eval extension) is needed to 
load the XML before evaluating the query, because when the XML is loaded 
in XQuery, the query won't look like a HTML template.

Best,
Benito
