This project provides a generic interface for GNU Octave with Terence Parr's popular StringTemplate V4 template engine; MATLAB is supported, too.
The concept is simple. An Octave script wraps your data in suitable Java collections, so that deeply nested data structures can be passed to the template engine just like that - and without the need for a compiled Java interface class, as it would when directly building on Octave's generic Java interface to access StringTemplate.
A major sample presents a simple compiler, which passes its entire parse tree as a single deeply structured data object to the template engine for code generation.
All you have to do is copying the wrapper script somewhere into your Octave search path and adjusting the Java class path such that the StringTemplate jar and all of your template files are found. Now, running the template expansion is one simple Octave command looking like:
txt=st4Render(groupFile, template, attribute, value, attrib2, val2, ..)
