+# Template Engine
+
+A shell script template engine for generating scripts that render HTML markup,
+or anything really.
+
+## Examples
+
+```html
+$ #!/bin/sh
+$ title='My Restaurant Randomizer';
+<!doctype html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <title><% $title %></title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <h1>Welcome to <% $title %></h1>
+    <p>From the following restaurants:</p>
+    <ul>
+      $ while read restaurant; do
+        <li><% $restaurant %></li>
+      $ done <restaurants.txt
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+      The fates have decided that you shall eat at:
+      <strong><$% shuf -n 1 restaurants.txt %></strong>
+    </p>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+The above template will generate the following shell script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+title='My Restaurant Randomizer';
+printf '%s\n' '<!doctype html>';
+printf '%s\n' '<html>';
+printf '%s\n' '  <head>';
+printf '%s' '    <title>';
+printf '%s' "$title" | jq -Rrj @html;
+printf '%s\n' '</title>';
+printf '%s\n' '  </head>';
+printf '%s\n' '  <body>';
+printf '%s' '    <h1>Welcome to ';
+printf '%s' "$title" | jq -Rrj @html;
+printf '%s\n' '</h1>';
+printf '%s\n' '    <p>From the following restaurants:</p>';
+printf '%s\n' '    <ul>';
+printf '%s' '';
+while read restaurant; do
+printf '%s' '        <li>';
+printf '%s' "$restaurant" | jq -Rrj @html;
+printf '%s\n' '</li>';
+printf '%s' '';
+done <restaurants.txt
+printf '%s\n' '    </ul>';
+printf '%s\n' '    <p>';
+printf '%s\n' '      The fates have decided that you shall eat at:';
+printf '%s' '      <strong>';
+printf '%s' "$(shuf -n 1 restaurants.txt)" | jq -Rrj @html;
+printf '%s\n' '</strong>';
+printf '%s\n' '    </p>';
+printf '%s\n' '  </body>';
+printf '%s\n' '</html>';
+printf '%s' '';
+```
+
+Which when executed might products the following HTML:
+
+```html
+<!doctype html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <title>My Restaurant Randomizer</title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <h1>Welcome to My Restaurant Randomizer</h1>
+    <p>From the following restaurants:</p>
+    <ul>
+        <li>Luigi&apos;s</li>
+        <li>Papa Johns</li>
+        <li>SushiQ</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+      The fates have decided that you shall eat at:
+      <strong>Papa Johns</strong>
+    </p>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
