Description: Lina
        =======
        
        Lina is a template engine in the spirit of Google's [CTemplate](http://code.google.com/p/ctemplate/?redir=1) written in Python 3. It can be used to generate any kind of text-based documents. Lina has been used since several years in a large C/C++ project to generate code.
        
        Until late August 2014, this library was known as *Miranda*.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        Python 3.4 or later. Previous versions of Python will not work due to the lack of enumerations.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Lina is available from PyPi, so you can install directly using ``pip``:
        
            pip install lina
        
        Getting started
        ---------------
        
        The most trivial template is:
        
            Hello {{name}}!
        
        It can be evaluated using
        
            import lina
            template = lina.Template ('Hello {{name}}!')
            print (template.RenderSimple (name = "Bob"))
        
        This will print:
        
            Hello Bob!
        
        The real power comes from blocks which can be repeated and nested. For instance:
        
            {{#Users}}Hello {{name}}!{{/Users}
        
        rendered with
        
            Users = [{'name':'Alice'}, {'name':'Bob'}]
        
        will print:
        
            Hello Alice!Hello Bob!
        
        This can be further improved by using formatters. A formatter modifies a value just before it is written to the output stream. Lina comes with a set of predefined formatters like upper-case transformation. Formatters can be defined for values or blocks. A good example for a block-level formatter is the `list-separator` formatter. If we change the template of the previous example to:
        
            {{#Users:list-separator=NEWLINE}}Hello {{name}}!{{/Users}
        
        the result will be:
        
            Hello Alice!
            Hello Bob!
        
        Value-level formatters are for example the upper-case formatter. `{{value:upper-case}}` with `value` set to `Test` will result in `TEST`.
