	currently available for android, see sample app
	currently developed for windows, sample app not yet available

Here is a sample template in slate that generates a fully NATIVE UI for android and windows phone. Slate support tags that are similar to html. The templates are very easy to learn and use, almost 40% to 60% smaller than native android xml layouts, offer data binding and many other features. See the wiki page and www.slatetemplates.com for more information.

Slate templates are used in a live android calendar app on google play. The templates are used to generate cards or what we call "boards" on the home page. Check out Slate Calendar for live examples.

template.core
{
// Loop through calendar and show all data for that day.
// This includes day/date/weather/first event time
			
   @each ( day in @calendar.days limit=4 )
   {
	list.col2
	{
		h6.dayName  @day.dayName			  
		text6.cell	@day.dayDate
		img.iconSmall	@day.weatherImage
		text6.cell	@day.tempHigh
		text6.cell	@day.tempLow
		text6.cell	@day.firstEventTimeAsText
		text6.cell	@day.totalEventsText
		text6.cell	@day.totalBDaysAsText
	}
   }
}

Here are some of the top uses for slate templates for both personal projects as well as commercial. Please note this is the first initial release of slate templates ( in beta ) and we will soon provide a beta 2 version.
