Matthew Knowlton

This class implements an extensible template engine with callable functions.

It can register new template commands assigned by a name and a callable function that will define the meaning and result of the command when it is found on a template.

The template engine parses a template file to find marks enclosed in curly braces and replaces them with the result of the registered commands defined by the template marks.

Prize: One book of choice by Packt		 Many template engines can be extended by the means of plugins that implement special commands for template tags.

This package implements a template engine that can be extended dynamically with new commands implemented with custom registered callable functions.
