 I find it very strange that noone undesrand me.. maybe I'm expressing it
badly...

 Let's suppose there's a new syntax `<# #>' which does exactly what I want.
It would be like this (jsp0.5 because it's the one I know best):

<script runat=server>
	sendRow(A a, B b, C c, D d)
	{
		// now: HTML code that will be `converted'
		// to Java by gnujsp.
		<#
		<tr>
			<td>.....
			<td>....
			<td>...  <%= a %>
		#>
	}
</script>
<body>
<% ..... some code %>
<table>
<%
...
	if(....) then sendRow(a,b,c,d);
...
%>
</table>


 I need this because where I work we need to have a method to generate both
static content and dynamic content, so we are currently managing the style
wuth M4 macros. These M4 macros should be the same in both cases, but what
do I do with a define(font,<font face="Helvetica,Arial">)? The quotes should
be `\"'...!

 I'm a bit more clear now?
