texp

texp is a compact tool designed for rendering templates in a syntax reminiscent of Jinja, powered by Tera. It's useful for generating text output based on predefined templates and variable files.

Learn more about template syntax on the Tera Documentation.

Examples

Below is a simple demonstration of how texp works. Start by creating two files: one for variables and one for the template.

variables.yaml:

foo: bar

doc.template.html:

<p>{{ foo }}</p>

Running texp with these files as inputs:

texp -v variables.yaml doc.template.html

produces the output:

<p>bar</p>

Also you can set output flag, to save result to file:

texp -v variables.yaml -o doc.html doc.template.html
