Hige 髭
{{growing mustaches in your templates with Lua}}
===============================================================================
-- Introduction ---------------------------------------------------------------
Hige is a small yet fairly complete templating library for the Lua programming 
language and it is based off Mustache[1] while it borrows a few implementation 
ideas from Mustache.js[2].

-- Usage ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  require 'hige'
  local view = {
      project  = 'hige', 
      nickname = 'nrk', 
      url      = function()
          return 'https://github.com/'..nickname..'/'..project
      end, 
  }
  local template = '{{project}} is maintained by {{nickname}} at {{url}}'
  local rendered = hige.render(template, view)
  -- hige is maintained by nrk at https://github.com/nrk/hige
-- Why hige? ------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for the fun of it :-)
-- Current status of the project-----------------------------------------------
I was not really serious about Hige when I started working on it. There are 
already much better alternatives for Lua such as Cosmo[3] (whose concept is 
similar in many ways to hige) and lua-haml[4], so the main reason which is 
driving its development is simply to deepen my knowledge of Lua. Anyway, I 
am going to fix the currently broken parts and add the missing features.

-- Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from a few ideas behind Hige's implementation choices, most of the 
examples that come with it were taken from Mustache.js.
