I hate to explicitly use html/css to build pages. Is there a template language I can use to semantically and quickly describe the layout and content of the page so that later I can generate html and css from it? I'm planning to use this on a django site (but I guess if such solution already exists for RoR I can always adapt it). Thank...

How can I delegate the invocations within a baseclass to the base class implementation rather than the inherited class implementation?
