# LTM - Lander Template Module
|
||||
|
||||
This module provides an interface for generating `char` streams from a given
|
||||
template.
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{ item start }}
|
||||
<li><a href="{{ url }}">{{ name }}</a></li>
|
||||
{{ item end }}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above snippet shows everything the templating language currently offers;
|
||||
either singular variables (here: `title`) or nested templates (here: `item`).
|
||||
Note the absence of a loop construct. This is because each variable and nested
|
||||
template is implicitely already a loop; a variable or a nested template can be
|
||||
added as many times as needed, and they will appear in the order they were
|
||||
added.
|
||||
|
||||
Template strings are compiled into templates. From a template, an instance can
|
||||
be created to which the required data can be added to fill in the template.
|
||||
Instantiating a template does not modify the original template, meaning
|
||||
templates can be safely used concurrently.
|
||||
|
||||
Each inserted variable can get its data from a variety of sources, namely
|
||||
`char` buffers, files or a custom reader function. The resulting `char` stream
|
||||
is never fully loaded into memory; an instance can stream its content to a
|
||||
provided buffer to prevent unnecessary memory usage.
