C++ HTML template framework, templatizing library, HTML generator library

I am looking for template/generator libraries for C++ that are similar to eg. Ruby's Erb, Haml, PHP's Smarty, etc.

It would be great if I it would sport some basic features like loops, if/else, int conversion to strings, etc.

Parameter passing to template rendering engine is also important if I could pass all of them in a hash map instead of calling some function for each of parameters.

Do you have any recommendations?

I can see also the possibility of embedding languages like Lua, however I haven't found a templatizing library for that either.

Wt (pronounced 'witty') is a C++ library and application server for developing and deploying web applications. It is not a 'framework', which enforces a way of programming, but a library.

CTPP is very fast and powerful library written in C++. It has bindings for Perl, PHP and Python.
