What is your tech stack for blog websites? (not wordpress)
I use PHP with Route, the Plates template engine, and my blog posts are markdown files grouped by folder (year/month/day.md).

Recommended using template engine in non framework projects?
If it's a simple project you could try Plates. Escaping is a little more verbose, but you don't have to learn any new syntax since it's native PHP.
Yes, but you don’t need Twig or Blade. You can use the built in template engine (phtml). More important question is do you need some templating system. If yes: https://platesphp.com/ If you don’t use frameworks then I recommed to use composer with framework independent packages like the PhpLeague. More flexible approach than frameworks, but much faster than vanila PHP.

Weekly "ask anything" thread
Start reading through PSR standards and see if some (not all) of them sound like good ideas to you, and write a mini framework of your own around those ideas, with composer to import high quality third party packages such as Plates.

Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support
I agree and I don't fully understand the why of it.
I remember coding PL/SQL to emmit HTML in Oracle around 1999 or 2000 and using functions to code the various elements.
Thay got old and repetitive very quickly - for instqance, everytime I had to correct a spelling error, I had to recompile the code.
To get around it I used one or two tables to hold html snippets to decouple the business/backend logic from the frontend, and stopped using the PL/SQL functios completely.
My speed of developmet skyrocketed, and separating and abstracting the frontend from the backend made so much sense.
A few years later, I was doing web developemt with Python using the Zope framework (not many people know about it tiday, I think).
It uses a specialised serverside templating language called TAL (Template Attribute Language)[1] that basically builds the front end dynamically, and then you feed it data from the backend.
Very neat and allowed me to build reusable compoments as well as collections of a schema definition (basically a dict), html template(s) and the code to validate that the inpuy matched the schema and could be rendered.
Or something like that its been 2 employers and almost 20 years since i worked with tha :)
I did build a small php extension for Wordpress using a PHP implementation[2] of TAL a few years ago, and TAL still works like a charm :)
My point is that I still believe there is value in keeping python out of the HTMl-templating, and in keeping the front end logic apart from the backend logic.
There is something I am not understanding about the renewal of mixing HTML/GUI template with code, buy I haven't fully found it yet.
