Exploring the world of template engines, both in Java and PHP, I found yet another application that uses Lua...

ANTES template engine by Scott Dixon
http://www.daylight.com/meetings/emug04/Dixon/cab.html
(Click on the slashed O to have a global view of the whole text)

Excerpts:
"Look and Feel"
"The CARD template system, ANTES (ANother TEmplate System) is based on the StringTemplate language which enforces a strict separation of presentational and procedural components."
"ANTES:
[...]
    * is written in C and uses the Daylight toolkit object system.
* provides API binding for C and the Lua scripting language. Other bindings are possible."

"Scripting"
"# Small scripts are used to generate SQL queries and map returned data to template attributes.
# The scripts are written in the Lua language."

Looks like this is worthy of going to Lua uses, if somebody (the author?) cares to add this entry.
