John Resig's Micro-Templating in 140 bytes

tmpl

John Resig's Micro-Templating in 140 bytes (138 actually).

Please see John's original article for template syntax and more examples.

with (data){ ... } implementation is longer, so the v variable must be used to access the supplied data like this: <%= v.foo || 'No foo' %>

function(
a // template string
){
return Function( // compile template as a function
"v,o", // data object is called "v" in templates: <%= v.foo %>
"o=" + // this variable will aggregate the output
JSON.stringify(a) // converting template to JavaScript with JSON
.replace(/<%=(.+?)%>/g, '"+($1)+"') // allow to print data: <%= v.foo || 'No foo' %>
.replace(/<%(.+?)%>/g, '";$1;o+="') // other logic: <% for (;;) { %> loopy <% } %>
+ ";return o" // return the evaluated template
)
}
function(a){return Function("v,o","o="+JSON.stringify(a).replace(/<%=(.+?)%>/g,'"+($1)+"').replace(/<%(.+?)%>/g,'";$1;o+="')+";return o")}

@atk
\n allows double slash comment: <% for (;;) { // loop description %>. So no real reason for an extra byte.
Your code with recursive regex is extremely clever. Just wow.

I have used recursive regex many times before - if you can utilize the callback's arguments, go for it.
