What are my options for HTML templating when not using a web server?

Rules

  1. One option per answer
  2. List language constraints
  3. A minimum of one pro and one con
  4. At least one URL resource.

If your feeling generous include a description or your own experience with it.

Jinja

Con: You need a C compiler for debugging

It's a generic templating engine written in Python. It's often used as an alternative to the Django templating engine by people who don't like the restrictive nature of the Django templating engine.
