Advanced templating language forked from doT.js that utilizes readable and comprehensable language contexts such as if, else if and for, foreach as well as easier methods for changing the template language suffixes and prefixes.

• custom delimiters
• runtime evaluation
• runtime interpolation
• compile-time evaluation
• partials support
• conditionals support
• array iterators
• object iterators
• encoding
• control whitespace - strip or preserve
• streaming friendly
• use it as logic-less or with logic, it is up to you

If you are coming from doT.js there are a few changes, but most are logically sound changes for readability and understanding quicker.

{{= ..code.. }}{{/ ..code.. }} is evaluation
             {{self.variable}} is interpolation
            {{!self.variable}} is encoding (encodeHTML)
      {{use def.definition /}} is usage of definition blocks and more advanced features are available as in 1.0 of doT.js
   {{def definition: value /}} is definition
        {{if variable}}{{/if}} is conditional if statement, the backslash is optional but added for readability and scanning.
{{elseif variable}}{{/elseif}} is conditional elseif statements, same as before with optional backslash

Looping:
{{foreach self.array :value:index}}{{/foreach}} is for looping through an array, supports dot.js ~ instead of foreach
            {{for self.obj :key:value}}{{/for}} is for looping through an object, custom object function if `@` after for indicator

it has been changed to self as seen in the breakdown above to have less confusion, you can always change this back.

You don't need def. on definition blocks, however on usage blocks you will need the def prefix. Also, if you wish to load files instead of def.loadFile use dota.loadFile inside of your use block.

In my opinion which isn't much, it's a lot cleaner.

dota.compile(String template, Object definition);

Sugar syntax for dota.template compiles and utilizes the default dota.templateSettings object.

• template String Raw template code
• definition **Object ** Template variable definitions

dota.template(String template, Object settings, Object definition);

Sugar syntax for dota.template compiles and utilizes the default dota.templateSettings object.

• template String Raw template code
• settings Object *Custom compilation settings, upon being null uses default settings`
• definition Object Template variable definitions, if missing

dota.js is an open source fork of doT dota stands for dot-advanced, OCD made me lowercase the T.
