This is useful for web +frameworks, static site generators, and other systems that support multiple +template engines but don't want to code for each of them individually. + +The following features are supported for all template engines (assuming the +feature is relevant to the engine): + + * Custom template evaluation scopes / bindings + * Ability to pass locals to template evaluation + * Support for passing a block to template evaluation for "yield" + * Backtraces with correct filenames and line numbers + * Template file caching and reloading + * Fast, method-based template source compilation + +The primary goal is to get all of the things listed above right for all +template engines included in the distribution. + +This is tilt 1.4.x for backward compatibility. |
