This document summarizes the key features of Sightly, a templating language for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.0. Sightly provides lightweight, secure, code-less templating that allows for separation of concerns between logic and markup. It uses standard HTML5 and an intuitive expression language for logic. Sightly aims to reduce development time and costs through a simplified workflow between designers and developers. The document outlines Sightly's expression language and block statements for building templates.
