### What is CSS selector specificity and how does it work?
The browser determines what styles to show on an element depending on the specificity of CSS rules. We assume that the browser has already determined the rules that match a particular element. Among the matching rules, the specificity, four comma-separate values, `a, b, c, d` are calculated for each rule based on the following:
1. `a` is whether inline styles are being used. If the property declaration is an inline style on the element, `a` is 1, else 0.
2. `b` is the number of ID selectors.
3. `c` is the number of classes, attributes and pseudo-classes selectors.
4. `d` is the number of tags and pseudo-elements selectors.
The resulting specificity is not a score, but a matrix of values that can be compared column by column. When comparing selectors to determine which has the highest specificity, look from left to right, and compare the highest value in each column. So a value in column `b` will override values in columns `c` and `d`, no matter what they might be. As such, specificity of `0,1,0,0` would be greater than one of `0,0,10,10`.
In the cases of equal specificity: the latest rule is the one that counts. If you have written the same rule into your style sheet (regardless of internal or external) twice, then the lower rule in your style sheet is closer to the element to be styled, it is deemed to be more specific and therefore will be applied.
I would write CSS rules with low specificity so that they can be easily overridden if necessary. When writing CSS UI component library code, it is important that they have low specificities so that users of the library can override them without using too complicated CSS rules just for the sake of increasing specificity or resorting to `!important`.

### What's the difference between "resetting" and "normalizing" CSS? Which would you choose, and why?
* **Resetting** - Resetting is meant to strip all default browser styling on elements. For e.g. `margin`s, `padding`s, `font-size`s of all elements are reset to be the same. You will have to redeclare styling for common typographic elements.
* **Normalizing** - Normalizing preserves useful default styles rather than "unstyling" everything. It also corrects bugs for common browser dependencies.
I would choose resetting when I have a very customized or unconventional site design such that I need to do a lot of my own styling and do not need any default styling to be preserved.

### Describe `float`s and how they work.
Float is a CSS positioning property. Floated elements remain a part of the flow of the page, and will affect the positioning of other elements (e.g. text will flow around floated elements), unlike `position: absolute` elements, which are removed from the flow of the page.
The CSS `clear` property can be used to be positioned below `left`/`right`/`both` floated elements.
If a parent element contains nothing but floated elements, its height will be collapsed to nothing. It can be fixed by clearing the float after the floated elements in the container but before the close of the container.
The `.clearfix` hack uses a clever CSS pseudo selector (`:after`) to clear floats. Rather than setting the overflow on the parent, you apply an additional class `clearfix` to it. Then apply this CSS:
```css
.clearfix:after {
content: ' ';
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
```
Alternatively, give `overflow: auto` or `overflow: hidden` property to the parent element which will establish a new block formatting context inside the children and it will expand to contain its children.

### Describe `z-index` and how stacking context is formed.
The `z-index` property in CSS controls the vertical stacking order of elements that overlap. `z-index` only affects elements that have a `position` value which is not `static`.
Without any `z-index` value, elements stack in the order that they appear in the DOM (the lowest one down at the same hierarchy level appears on top). Elements with non-static positioning (and their children) will always appear on top of elements with default static positioning, regardless of HTML hierarchy.
A stacking context is an element that contains a set of layers. Within a local stacking context, the `z-index` values of its children are set relative to that element rather than to the document root. Layers outside of that context — i.e. sibling elements of a local stacking context — can't sit between layers within it. If an element B sits on top of element A, a child element of element A, element C, can never be higher than element B even if element C has a higher `z-index` than element B.
Each stacking context is self-contained - after the element's contents are stacked, the whole element is considered in the stacking order of the parent stacking context. A handful of CSS properties trigger a new stacking context, such as `opacity` less than 1, `filter` that is not `none`, and `transform` that is not`none`.

[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### Describe Block Formatting Context (BFC) and how it works.
A Block Formatting Context (BFC) is part of the visual CSS rendering of a web page in which block boxes are laid out. Floats, absolutely positioned elements, `inline-blocks`, `table-cells`, `table-caption`s, and elements with `overflow` other than `visible` (except when that value has been propagated to the viewport) establish new block formatting contexts.
A BFC is an HTML box that satisfies at least one of the following conditions:
* The value of `float` is not `none`.
* The value of `position` is neither `static` nor `relative`.
* The value of `display` is `table-cell`, `table-caption`, `inline-block`, `flex`, or `inline-flex`.
* The value of `overflow` is not `visible`.
In a BFC, each box's left outer edge touches the left edge of the containing block (for right-to-left formatting, right edges touch).
Vertical margins between adjacent block-level boxes in a BFC collapse. Read more on [collapsing margins](https://www.sitepoint.com/web-foundations/collapsing-margins/).

### What are the various clearing techniques and which is appropriate for what context?
* Empty `div` method - `<div style="clear:both;"></div>`.
* Clearfix method - Refer to the `.clearfix` class above.
* `overflow: auto` or `overflow: hidden` method - Parent will establish a new block formatting context and expand to contains its floated children.
In large projects, I would write a utility `.clearfix` class and use them in places where I need it. `overflow: hidden` might clip children if the children is taller than the parent and is not very ideal.

### Explain CSS sprites, and how you would implement them on a page or site.
CSS sprites combine multiple images into one single larger image. It is commonly used technique for icons (Gmail uses it). How to implement it:
1. Use a sprite generator that packs multiple images into one and generate the appropriate CSS for it.
1. Each image would have a corresponding CSS class with `background-image`, `background-position` and `background-size` properties defined.
1. To use that image, add the corresponding class to your element.
**Advantages:**
* Reduce the number of HTTP requests for multiple images (only one single request is required per spritesheet). But with HTTP2, loading multiple images is no longer much of an issue.
* Advance downloading of assets that won't be downloaded until needed, such as images that only appear upon `:hover` pseudo-states. Blinking wouldn't be seen.

### How would you approach fixing browser-specific styling issues?
* After identifying the issue and the offending browser, use a separate style sheet that only loads when that specific browser is being used. This technique requires server-side rendering though.
* Use libraries like Bootstrap that already handles these styling issues for you.
* Use `autoprefixer` to automatically add vendor prefixes to your code.
* Use Reset CSS or Normalize.css.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### How do you serve your pages for feature-constrained browsers? What techniques/processes do you use?
* Graceful degradation - The practice of building an application for modern browsers while ensuring it remains functional in older browsers.
* Progressive enhancement - The practice of building an application for a base level of user experience, but adding functional enhancements when a browser supports it.
* Use [caniuse.com](https://caniuse.com/) to check for feature support.
* Autoprefixer for automatic vendor prefix insertion.
* Feature detection using [Modernizr](https://modernizr.com/).

### What are the different ways to visually hide content (and make it available only for screen readers)?
These techniques are related to accessibility (a11y).
* `visibility: hidden`. However the element is still in the flow of the page, and still takes up space.
* `width: 0; height: 0`. Make the element not take up any space on the screen at all, resulting in not showing it.
* `position: absolute; left: -99999px`. Position it outside of the screen.
* `text-indent: -9999px`. This only works on text within the `block` elements.
* Metadata. For example by using Schema.org, RDF and JSON-LD.
* WAI-ARIA. A W3C technical specification that specifies how to increase the accessibility of web pages.
Even if WAI-ARIA is the ideal solution, I would go with the `absolute` positioning approach, as it has the least caveats, works for most elements and it's an easy technique.

### Have you ever used a grid system, and if so, what do you prefer?
I like the `float`-based grid system because it still has the most browser support among the alternative existing systems (flex, grid). It has been used in Bootstrap for years and has been proven to work.

### Have you used or implemented media queries or mobile-specific layouts/CSS?
Yes. An example would be transforming a stacked pill navigation into a fixed-bottom tab navigation beyond a certain breakpoint.

### What are some of the "gotchas" for writing efficient CSS?
Firstly, understand that browsers match selectors from rightmost (key selector) to left. Browsers filter out elements in the DOM according to the key selector, and traverse up its parent elements to determine matches. The shorter the length of the selector chain, the faster the browser can determine if that element matches the selector. Hence avoid key selectors that are tag and universal selectors. They match a large numbers of elements and browsers will have to do more work in determining if the parents do match.
[BEM (Block Element Modifier)](https://bem.info/) methodology recommends that everything has a single class, and, where you need hierarchy, that gets baked into the name of the class as well, this naturally makes the selector efficient and easy to override.
Be aware of which CSS properties trigger reflow, repaint and compositing. Avoid writing styles that change the layout (trigger reflow) where possible.

### What are the advantages/disadvantages of using CSS preprocessors?
**Advantages:**
* CSS is made more maintainable.
* Easy to write nested selectors.
* Variables for consistent theming. Can share theme files across different projects.
* Mixins to generate repeated CSS.
* Splitting your code into multiple files. CSS files can be split up too but doing so will require a HTTP request to download each CSS file.
**Disadvantages:**
* Requires tools for preprocessing. Re-compilation time can be slow.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### Describe what you like and dislike about the CSS preprocessors you have used.
**Likes:**
* Mostly the advantages mentioned above.
* Less is written in JavaScript, which plays well with Node.
**Dislikes:**
* I use Sass via `node-sass`, which is a binding for LibSass written in C++. I have to frequently recompile it when switching between node versions.
* In Less, variable names are prefixed with `@`, which can be confused with native CSS keywords like `@media`, `@import` and `@font-face` rule.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### How would you implement a web design comp that uses non-standard fonts?
Use `@font-face` and define `font-family` for different `font-weight`s.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### Explain how a browser determines what elements match a CSS selector.
This part is related to the above about writing efficient CSS. Browsers match selectors from rightmost (key selector) to left. Browsers filter out elements in the DOM according to the key selector, and traverse up its parent elements to determine matches. The shorter the length of the selector chain, the faster the browser can determine if that element matches the selector.
For example with this selector `p span`, browsers firstly find all the `<span>` elements, and traverse up its parent all the way up to the root to find the `<p>` element. For a particular `<span>`, as soon as it finds a `<p>`, it knows that the `<span>` matches and can stop its matching.

### Describe pseudo-elements and discuss what they are used for.
A CSS pseudo-element is a keyword added to a selector that lets you style a specific part of the selected element(s). They can be used for decoration (`:first-line`, `:first-letter`) or adding elements to the markup (combined with `content: ...`) without having to modify the markup (`:before`, `:after`).
* `:first-line` and `:first-letter` can be used to decorate text.
* Used in the `.clearfix` hack as shown above to add a zero-space element with `clear: both`.
* Triangular arrows in tooltips use `:before` and `:after`. Encourages separation of concerns because the triangle is considered part of styling and not really the DOM. It's not really possible to draw a triangle with just CSS styles without using an additional HTML element.

### Explain your understanding of the box model and how you would tell the browser in CSS to render your layout in different box models.
The CSS box model describes the rectangular boxes that are generated for elements in the document tree and laid out according to the visual formatting model. Each box has a content area (e.g. text, an image, etc.) and optional surrounding `padding`, `border`, and `margin` areas.
The CSS box model is responsible for calculating:
* How much space a block element takes up.
* Whether or not borders and/or margins overlap, or collapse.
* A box's dimensions.
The box model has the following rules:
* The dimensions of a block element are calculated by `width`, `height`, `padding`, `border`s, and `margin`s.
* If no `height` is specified, a block element will be as high as the content it contains, plus `padding` (unless there are floats, for which see below).
* If no `width` is specified, a non-floated block element will expand to fit the width of its parent minus `padding`.
* The `height` of an element is calculated by the content's `height`.
* The `width` of an element is calculated by the content's `width`.
* By default, `padding`s and `border`s are not part of the `width` and `height` of an element.

### What does `* { box-sizing: border-box; }` do? What are its advantages?
* By default, elements have `box-sizing: content-box` applied, and only the content size is being accounted for.
* `box-sizing: border-box` changes how the `width` and `height` of elements are being calculated, `border` and `padding` are also being included in the calculation.
* The `height` of an element is now calculated by the content's `height` + vertical `padding` + vertical `border` width.
* The `width` of an element is now calculated by the content's `width` + horizontal `padding` + horizontal `border` width.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### What is the CSS `display` property and can you give a few examples of its use?
* `none`, `block`, `inline`, `inline-block`, `table`, `table-row`, `table-cell`, `list-item`.
TODO
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### What's the difference between `inline` and `inline-block`?
I shall throw in a comparison with `block` for good measure.
| | `block` | `inline-block` | `inline` |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Size | Fills up the width of its parent container. | Depends on content. | Depends on content. |
| Positioning | Start on a new line and tolerates no HTML elements next to it (except when you add `float`) | Flows along with other content and allows other elements beside. | Flows along with other content and allows other elements beside. |
| Can specify `width` and `height` | Yes | Yes | No. Will ignore if being set. |
| Can be aligned with `vertical-align` | No | Yes | Yes |
| Margins and paddings | All sides respected. | All sides respected. | Only horizontal sides respected. Vertical sides, if specified, do not affect layout. Vertical space it takes up depends on `line-height`, even though the `border` and `padding` appear visually around the content. |
| Float | - | - | Becomes like a `block` element where you can set vertical margins and paddings. |

### What's the difference between a `relative`, `fixed`, `absolute` and `static`ally positioned element?
A positioned element is an element whose computed `position` property is either `relative`, `absolute`, `fixed` or `sticky`.
* `static` - The default position; the element will flow into the page as it normally would. The `top`, `right`, `bottom`, `left` and `z-index` properties do not apply.
* `relative` - The element's position is adjusted relative to itself, without changing layout (and thus leaving a gap for the element where it would have been had it not been positioned).
* `absolute` - The element is removed from the flow of the page and positioned at a specified position relative to its closest positioned ancestor if any, or otherwise relative to the initial containing block. Absolutely positioned boxes can have margins, and they do not collapse with any other margins. These elements do not affect the position of other elements.
* `fixed` - The element is removed from the flow of the page and positioned at a specified position relative to the viewport and doesn't move when scrolled.
* `sticky` - Sticky positioning is a hybrid of relative and fixed positioning. The element is treated as `relative` positioned until it crosses a specified threshold, at which point it is treated as `fixed` positioned.

### What existing CSS frameworks have you used locally, or in production? How would you change/improve them?
* **Bootstrap** - Slow release cycle. Bootstrap 4 has been in alpha for almost 2 years. Add a spinner button component, as it is widely-used.
* **Semantic UI** - Source code structure makes theme customization extremely hard to understand. Painful to customize with unconventional theming system. Hardcoded config path within the vendor library. Not well-designed for overriding variables unlike in Bootstrap.
* **Bulma** - A lot of non-semantic and superfluous classes and markup required. Not backward compatible. Upgrading versions breaks the app in subtle manners.
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### Have you played around with the new CSS Flexbox or Grid specs?
Yes. Flexbox is mainly meant for 1-dimensional layouts while Grid is meant for 2-dimensional layouts.
Flexbox solves many common problems in CSS, such as vertical centering of elements within a container, sticky footer, etc. Bootstrap and Bulma are based on Flexbox, and it is probably the recommended way to create layouts these days. Have tried Flexbox before but ran into some browser incompatibility issues (Safari) in using `flex-grow`, and I had to rewrite my code using `inline-blocks` and math to calculate the widths in percentages, it wasn't a nice experience.
Grid is by far the most intuitive approach for creating grid-based layouts (it better be!) but browser support is not wide at the moment.

### Can you explain the difference between coding a web site to be responsive versus using a mobile-first strategy?
TODO
[[↑] Back to top](#css-questions)
### How is responsive design different from adaptive design?
Both responsive and adaptive design attempt to optimize the user experience across different devices, adjusting for different viewport sizes, resolutions, usage contexts, control mechanisms, and so on.
Responsive design works on the principle of flexibility - a single fluid website that can look good on any device. Responsive websites use media queries, flexible grids, and responsive images to create a user experience that flexes and changes based on a multitude of factors. Like a single ball growing or shrinking to fit through several different hoops.
Adaptive design is more like the modern definition of progressive enhancement. Instead of one flexible design, adaptive design detects the device and other features, and then provides the appropriate feature and layout based on a predefined set of viewport sizes and other characteristics. The site detects the type of device used, and delivers the pre-set layout for that device. Instead of a single ball going through several different-sized hoops, you'd have several different balls to use depending on the hoop size.

### Have you ever worked with retina graphics? If so, when and what techniques did you use?
I tend to use higher resolution graphics (twice the display size) to handle retina display. The better way would be to use a media query like `@media only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) { ... }` and change the `background-image`.
For icons, I would also opt to use svgs and icon fonts where possible, as they render very crisply regardless of resolution.
Another method would be to use JavaScript to replace the `<img>` `src` attribute with higher resolution versions after checking the `window.devicePixelRatio` value.

### Is there any reason you'd want to use `translate()` instead of `absolute` positioning, or vice-versa? And why?
`translate()` is a value of CSS `transform`. Changing `transform` or `opacity` does not trigger browser reflow or repaint, only compositions, whereas changing the absolute positioning triggers `reflow`. `transform` causes the browser to create a GPU layer for the element but changing absolute positioning properties uses the CPU. Hence `translate()` is more efficient and will result in shorter paint times for smoother animations.
When using `translate()`, the element still takes up its original space (sort of like `position: relative`), unlike in changing the absolute positioning.

### `DOCTYPE`有什么用?
`DOCTYPE`是“document type”的缩写。它是 HTML 中用来区分标准模式和[怪异模式](https://quirks.spec.whatwg.org/#history)的声明,用来告知浏览器使用标准模式渲染页面。
从中获得的启发:在页面开始处添加`<!DOCTYPE html>`即可。

### 如何提供包含多种语言内容的页面?
这个问题有点问得含糊其辞,我认为这是在询问最常见的情况:如何提供包含多种语言内容的页面,并保证页面内容语言的一致性。
当客户端向服务器发送 HTTP 请求时,通常会发送有关语言首选项的信息,比如使用`Accept-Language`请求头。如果替换语言存在,服务器可以利用该信息返回与之相匹配的 HTML 文档。返回的 HTML 文档还应在`<html>`标签中声明`lang`属性,比如`<html lang="en">...</html>`
在后台中HTML 将包含`i18n`占位符和待以替换的内容,这些按照不同语言,以 YML 或 JSON 格式存储。然后,服务器将动态生成指定语言内容的 HTML 页面。整个过程通常需要借助后台框架实现。

### 在设计开发多语言网站时,需要留心哪些事情?
* 在 HTML 中使用`lang`属性。
* 引导用户切换到自己的母语——让用户能够轻松地切换到自己的国家或语言,而不用麻烦。
* 在图片中展示文本会阻碍网站规模增长——把文本放在图片中展示,仍然是一种非常流行的方式。这样做可以在所有终端上,都能显示出美观的非系统字体。然而,为了翻译图片中的文本,需要为每种语言单独创建对应的图片,这种做法很容易在图片数量不断增长的过程中失控。
* 限制词语或句子的长度——网页内容在使用其他语言表述时,文字长度会发生变化。设计时,需要警惕文字长度溢出布局的问题,最好不要使用受文字长度影响较大的设计。比如标题、标签、按钮的设计,往往很受文字长度影响,这些设计中的文字与正文或评论部分不同,一般不可以自由换行。
* 注意颜色的使用——颜色在不同的语言和文化中,意义和感受是不同的。设计时应该使用恰当的颜色。
* 日期和货币的格式化——日期在不同的国家和地区会以不同的方式显示。比如美国的日期格式是“May 31, 2012”而在欧洲部分地区日期格式是“31 May 2012”。
* 不要使用连接的翻译字符串——不要做类似这样的事情,比如`“今天的日期是”+具体日期`。这样做可能会打乱其他语言的语序。替代方案是,为每种语言编写带变量替换的模版字符串。请看下面两个分别用英语和中文表示的句子:`I will travel on {% date %}`和`{% date %} 我会出发`。可以看到,语言的语法规则不同,变量的位置是不同的。
* 注意语言阅读的方向——在英语中,文字是从左向右阅读的;而在传统日语中,文字是从右向左阅读的。

### 什么是`data-`属性?
在 JavaScript 框架变得流行之前,前端开发者经常使用`data-`属性,把额外数据存储在 DOM 自身中。当时没有其他 Hack 手段(比如使用非标准属性或 DOM 上额外属性)。这样做是为了将自定义数据存储到页面或应用中,对此没有其他更适当的属性或元素。
而现在,不鼓励使用`data-`属性。原因之一是,用户可以通过在浏览器中利用检查元素,轻松地修改属性值,借此修改数据。数据模型最好存储在 JavaScript 本身中,并利用框架提供的数据绑定,使之与 DOM 保持更新。

### 请描述`cookie`、`sessionStorage`和`localStorage`的区别。
上面提到的技术名词,都是在客户端以键值对存储的存储机制,并且只能将值存储为字符串。
| | `cookie` | `localStorage` | `sessionStorage` |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ---------------- |
| 由谁初始化 | 客户端或服务器,服务器可以使用`Set-Cookie`请求头。 | 客户端 | 客户端 |
| 过期时间 | 手动设置 | 永不过期 | 当前页面关闭时 |
| 在当前浏览器会话browser sessions中是否保持不变 | 取决于是否设置了过期时间 | 是 | 否 |
| 是否与域名domain相关联 | 是 | 否 | 否 |
| 是否随着每个 HTTP 请求发送给服务器 | 是Cookies 会通过`Cookie`请求头,自动发送给服务器 | 否 | 否 |
| 容量(每个域名) | 4kb | 5MB | 5MB |
| 访问权限 | 任意窗口 | 任意窗口 | 当前页面窗口 |

### 请描述`<script>``<script async>``<script defer>`
* `<script>` - HTML 解析中断脚本被提取并立即执行。执行结束后HTML 解析继续。
* `<script async>` - 脚本的提取、执行的过程与HTML解析过程并行脚本执行完毕可能在HTML解析完毕之前。当脚本与页面上其他脚本独立时可以使用`async`,比如用作页面统计分析。
* `<script defer>` - 脚本仅提取过程与HTML解析过程并行脚本的执行将在HTML解析完毕后进行。如果有多个含`defer`的脚本,脚本的执行顺序将按照在 document 中出现的位置,从上到下顺序执行。
注意:没有`src`属性的脚本,`async`和`defer`属性会被忽略。

### Why is it generally a good idea to position CSS `<link>`s between `<head></head>` and JS `<script>`s just before `</body>`? Do you know any exceptions?
**Placing `<link>`s in the `<head>`**
Putting `<link>`s in the head is part of the specification. Besides that, placing at the top allows the page to render progressively which improves user experience. The problem with putting stylesheets near the bottom of the document is that it prohibits progressive rendering in many browsers, including Internet Explorer. Some browsers block rendering to avoid having to repaint elements of the page if their styles change. The user is stuck viewing a blank white page. It prevents the flash of unstyled contents.
**Placing `<script>`s just before `</body>`**
`<script>`s block HTML parsing while they are being downloaded and executed. Downloading the scripts at the bottom will allow the HTML to be parsed and displayed to the user first.
An exception for positioning of `<script>`s at the bottom is when your script contains `document.write()`, but these days it's not a good practice to use `document.write()`. Also, placing `<script>`s at the bottom means that the browser cannot start downloading the scripts until the entire document is parsed. One possible workaround is to put `<script>` in the `<head>` and use the `defer` attribute.

### What is progressive rendering?
Progressive rendering is the name given to techniques used to improve performance of a webpage (in particular, improve perceived load time) to render content for display as quickly as possible.
It used to be much more prevalent in the days before broadband internet but it is still useful in modern development as mobile data connections are becoming increasingly popular (and unreliable)!
Examples of such techniques:
* Lazy loading of images - Images on the page are not loaded all at once. JavaScript will be used to load an image when the user scrolls into the part of the page that displays the image.
* Prioritizing visible content (or above-the-fold rendering) - Include only the minimum CSS/content/scripts necessary for the amount of page that would be rendered in the users browser first to display as quickly as possible, you can then use deferred scripts or listen for the `DOMContentLoaded`/`load` event to load in other resources and content.
* Async HTML fragments - Flushing parts of the HTML to the browser as the page is constructed on the back end. More details on the technique can be found [here](http://www.ebaytechblog.com/2014/12/08/async-fragments-rediscovering-progressive-html-rendering-with-marko/).

### Have you used different HTML templating languages before?
Yes, Pug (formerly Jade), ERB, Slim, Handlebars, Jinja, Liquid, just to name a few. In my opinion, they are more or less the same and provide similar functionality of escaping content and helpful filters for manipulating the data to be displayed. Most templating engines will also allow you to inject your own filters in the event you need custom processing before display.
