Module pl.template
A template preprocessor.
Originally by Ricki Lake
There are two rules:
- lines starting with # are Lua
- otherwise,
$(expr)is the result of evaluatingexpr
Example:
# for i = 1,3 do
$(i) Hello, Word!
# end
===>
1 Hello, Word!
2 Hello, Word!
3 Hello, Word!
Other escape characters can be used, when the defaults conflict with the output language.
> for _,n in pairs{'one','two','three'} do
static int l_${n} (luaState *state);
> end
