Hi all:
While PME is a great tool and does a lot of the dirty work for me, I'd like to have more control over the display. Stylesheets aren't the answer here.
Some way of supporting a template system such as Smarty would be wonderful. Granted, the developer wanting to use it would have to invest some time building suitable templates and learning an API, but the results could be very useful. One could do: forms-based applications (one record per screen); multiple-line tables for those (numerous) times when straight-across-the-screen just doesn't work; conditional text formatting; images; arbitrary arrangement of fields and navigation aids; and much more. Of course, the plain old interface would always be available by default.
Sadly, development of PME seems to have stalled as the authors move on to other projects.
