Detailed Description

The texttemplate module provides support for text template files.

Example

Consider the following text file greeting.txt.in.

 ${greeting} ${name}!

This can be used in a project like this:

 Product {
     type: ["text"]
     files: ["greeting.txt.in"]
     Depends { name: "texttemplate" }
     texttemplate.dict: ({
             greeting: "Hello",
             name: "World"
         })
 }

Which will create the file greeting.txt.

 Hello World!

Placeholder Syntax

A placeholder ${foo} is replaced by its corresponding value in texttemplate.dict. Placeholder names consist of alphanumeric characters only.

The placeholder ${$} is always replaced with $. If you need a literal ${foo} in your template, use ${$}{foo}.

Placeholders that are not defined in the dictionary will produce an error.
