dwttool - A tool to manage websites based on Dynamic Web Templates

About

A couple of years ago I created several websites with Microsoft's tool Expression Web. I loved Expression Web because it had a decent HTML/CSS editor and a cool feature called DWT - Dynamic Web Templates (similar to those in Adobe's Dreamweaver). Unfortunately Expression Web only runs on Windows. dwttool is a command line tool that tries to fill this gap. With dwttool you can create new projects based on DWT and manage existing ones on Linux. dwttool is written in the D programming language.
