This class implements a template engine based on tags similar to HTML.

It can capture and process the current script output as a template that may have tags similar to HTML.

The supported tags behavior is defined according to the presence of directories with the same name of the tag inside a given tag directory.

Each tag directory can contain templates and scripts that define how each tag should be processed.

#PHP CustomTags

Allows you to create HTML custom tags that aids in templating and providing easy to use extendable functionality that designers find easy to work with. Create completely customisable tags and even comes with a simple internal templating engine.

Tags can also be collected and processed in bulk, which can be usefull when optimising performance of database queries and other such junk.

##An Example Custom Tag.

```html
<ct:inline some="attribute">
    This is an in line template. <br />
    This is a #{tag} that can be accessed by the callback function
</ct:inline>`
```

##Simple Integrated Example

```php
<?php

$current_dir = dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
require_once dirname($current_dir).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'customtags.php';

$ct = new CustomTags(array(
    'parse_on_shutdown'     => true,
    'tag_directory'         => $current_dir.'tags'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,
    'sniff_for_buried_tags' => true
));
