`template` module

A small Jinja-flavored template engine. Supports {{ var }} interpolation, {% if %} / {% for %} / {% block %} / {% extends %} / {% include %}, a filter pipeline ({{ name | upper }}), and {%- ... -%} whitespace control.

import "template" as tpl;

tpl.set_views("./views");

var html = tpl.render("home.html", { user: "Alice", items: [1, 2, 3] });
print(html);
