Non-template based CMS

Content Management system with no templates

[syff]

I am looking for a CMS which can be easily included in my current page, but doesn't come with a template. All I want the CMS to do is to print the text from the database, no HTML and PHP. Text only.

To illustrate what I want:

I have a page named news.php. Template based CMS' use tables and non-standard markup to make things easier for the end-user. I don't want that, I want to simply include the php variables where I want them to be in my layout and let the CMS do the work with parsing the information, looping, dividing into pages etc.

Is there such a CMS available somewhere?

So what you need is a CMS with editable templates - i think all of them offer that. The one I am using lets me tamper with the template as much as I want.

I dont know how a CMS could possibly work without a template.

I've encountered several content management systems that come with editable templates, but most of them don't stick with the web standards. All of the modules that come with the CMS are non-standard table-based HTML modules, which is exactly what I don't want.

There has to be a customizable variable-based non-template CMS out there!

Typo3 comes to mind. With its Modern Template Building [typo3.org].

Most of the CMS systems I have looked at simply use print or echo statements interspersed in the HTML markup. It is a simply matter to place those statements in your own markup.
