how to use mint
invoking mint
mint TMPLPATH [NAME=VAL...]
Variable names can't start with !, and they can't contain }}, =, or
newlines. Variable values can contain anything at all.
template files
A template file is made up of tags and arbitrary text. A tag looks like
{{name}} and is replaced with the value of the variable name. {{! becomes
a literal {{. Currently, template files and variable definitions must use
UTF-8.
example
template.txt:
{{!foo}} renders to {{foo}}, and {{!! renders to {{!.
It doesn't matter if bar is defined, because we don't use it.
$ mint template.txt foo=cat bar=sock
Output:
{{foo}} renders to cat, and {{! renders to {{.
It doesn't matter if bar is defined, because we don't use it.
the name
"Mint" stands for "MINimal Template engine". I'm not good at naming things.
