30 /// Custom templating engine for text documents.
31 ///
32 /// This module provides a simple mechanism to generate text documents based on
33 /// templates.  The templates are just text files that contain template
34 /// statements that instruct this processor to perform transformations on the
35 /// input.
36 ///
37 /// While this was originally written to handle HTML templates, it is actually
38 /// generic enough to handle any kind of text document, hence why it lives
39 /// within the utils::text library.
40 ///
41 /// An example of how the templates look like:
42 ///
43 ///   %if names
44 ///   List of names
45 ///   -------------
46 ///   Amount of names: %%length(names)%%
47 ///   Most preferred name: %%preferred_name%%
48 ///   Full list:
49 ///   %loop names iter
50 ///     * %%last_names(iter)%%, %%names(iter)%%
51 ///   %endloop
52 ///   %endif names
