Go Templater

This is an attempt at providing a general purpose library for writing files based on templates

Design choices

A template will require 2 types of entities to be really useful

1. A markup - containing all the non-semantics of the template and tags for inserting data

   • This is by convention placed in files matching templates/_.*
   • Example: _index.html could define a beautiful homepage and some tags

2. Some data - containing a datatype that the markup file expects

   • This is by convention placed in files matching templates/filename.json where filename matches a markup file like templates/_(.*).json
   • Example: index.html.json could define data for our template above

Both of these types will probably be configurable at some point

Special fields

There are some "special" fields that template data can contain:

• "destination": Specifies where to place the created file. If not specified, the generated file will be created in "Default_output_dir" from config
• "name": specifies a name for the generated templated. Final destination will be "destination"/"name"
