My suggestion is to pick a templating engine and markup language you like, wire them together with a bit of glue code, and try not to spend too much time fiddling with it instead of writing. When I do realize there’s some feature I want to add, it’s a lot easier to tweak ~100 lines of code that I’m already familiar with rather than trying to figure out the documentation for some plugin system.

I’ve written about this in a bit more detail previously[1], and I’ve also published the source code to my personal blog[2] if you’re curious to see a fully-baked example.
