LaTera

Use Tera for HTML:

<title>{% block title %}{% endblock title %}</title>
<ul>
{% for user in users %}
  <li><a href="{{ user.url }}">{{ user.username }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{# a comment #}

Use LaTera for LaTeX:

\section{ <# block section #><# endblock section #> }
\begin{itemize}
  <# for user in users #>
    \item \href{ << user.url >> }{ << user.username >> }
  <# endfor #>
\end{itemize}
<% a comment %>

Objectives

• Avoid templating issues with curly brackets in your LaTex code
• Be somewhat compatible with LaTeX syntax highlighting
