/** @defgroup template_api Template API
 *
 *  This is the API for a
 *  <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/templates/">Django</a>
 *  compatible template system written in C++.
 *  It is somewhat inspired by Stephen Kelly's
 *  <a href="http://www.gitorious.org/grantlee/pages/Home">Grantlee</a>.
 *
 *  A template is simply a text file.
 *  A template contains \b variables, which get replaced with values when the
 *  template is evaluated, and \b tags, which control the logic of the template.
 *
 *  Variables look like this: `{{ variable }}`
 *  When the template engine encounters a variable, it evaluates that variable and
 *  replaces it with the result. Variable names consist of any combination of
 *  alphanumeric characters and the underscore ("_").
 *  Use a dot (.) to access attributes of a structured variable.
 *
 *  One can modify variables for display by using \b filters, for example:
 *  `{{ value|default:"nothing" }}`
 *
 *  Tags look like this: `{% tag %}`. Tags are more complex than variables:
 *  Some create text in the output, some control flow by performing loops or logic,
 *  and some load external information into the template to be used by later variables.
 *
 *  To comment-out part of a line in a template, use the comment syntax:
 *  `{# comment text #}`.
 *
 *  Supported Django tags:
 *  - `for ... empty ... endfor`
 *  - `if ... else ... endif`
 *  - `block ... endblock`
 *  - `extend`
 *  - `include`
 *  - `with ... endwith`
 *  - `spaceless ... endspaceless`
 *  - `cycle`
 *
 *  Extension tags:
 *  - `create` which instantiates a template and writes the result to a file.
 *     The syntax is `{% create 'filename' from 'template' %}`.
 *  - `recursetree`
 *  - `markers`
 *  - `msg` ... `endmsg`
 *  - `set`
 *
 *  Supported Django filters:
 *  - `default`
 *  - `length`
 *  - `add`
 *  - `divisibleby`
 *
 *  Extension filters:
 *  - `stripPath`
 *  - `nowrap`
 *  - `prepend`
 *  - `append`
