“My previous post (updated!) demonstrated how Mako's "defs with embedded content" feature was used to build a library of form tags, keeping all HTML and layout within templates, as well as a succinct method of linking them to form validation and data state. The "def with embedded content", a feature derived from HTML::Mason, is one feature that makes Mako highly unique in the Python world. The form demo also illustrated another unique feature, which is the ability to "export" the functionality of a def (essentially a subcomponent of a page) to other templates, without any dependency on inheritance or other structural relationship. Defs with embeddable content and exportable defs are two features I would never want to do without, which is why I ported HTML::Mason to Myghty, and later created Mako for Python.” source...
