Where compile-opt can include:

--start-tag
--end-tag
--pre-chomp
--post-chomp
--trim
--any-case
--eval
--noeval
-s, --source
--exclude

See below for more information

Example:

Write the Lemplate runtime code into Lemplate.js, then compile all the template files in the templates/ directory and put the output in my-lemplate.js.

lemplate --runtime > Lemplate.js
lemplate --compile templates/* > my-lemplate.js

Do the same thing, but put the output into one file.

lemplate --runtime > my-lemplate.js
lemplate --compile templates/* >> my-lemplate.js

template-list:

The template-list is the list of template files that will be compiled. If something in the list is a file, then the template name will be just the file name. If it is a directory, then all the files under that directory will be found, and the relative paths to those files will be the template name.

So 'template/foo/bar.tt2' will be named 'bar.tt2', but 'template/' will find a template named 'foo/bar.tt2'.

It is important to know what Lemplate thinks the template name will be when you are writing templates or code that refers to other templates. Use the --list option to check this.

Commands:

-r, --runtime
    This flag tells Lemplate to print the Lemplate JavaScript
    runtime code to STDOUT. You should redirect this output into
    a .js file.

-c, --compile
    The --compile flag tells Lemplate to actually compile templates.
    The output is written to STDOUT.

-l, --list
    Just print (STDOUT) the template names that Lemplate would use
    from the template-list.

Template Toolkit Compile Options:

Lemplate allows you to specify the following Template Toolkit compile time options. Full descriptions of these options are available at http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Config.html.

These options may either be set as JEMPLATE_* environment variables or as command line switches.

--start-tag (JEMPLATE_START_TAG)
    Specify the starting template delimiter to use. Default is '[%'.

--end-tag (JEMPLATE_END_TAG)
    Specify the ending template delimiter to use. Default is '%]'.

--pre-chomp (JEMPLATE_PRE_CHOMP)
    Chomp leading whitespace automatically. Default is off.

--post-chomp (JEMPLATE_POST_CHOMP)
    Chomp trailing whitespace automatically. Default is off.

--trim (JEMPLATE_TRIM)
    Trim leading and trailing whitespace. Default is off.

--any-case (JEMPLATE_ANYCASE)
    Allow lower or mixed case for template directives. Default is off.

--eval (--noeval) (JEMPLATE_EVAL_JAVASCRIPT)
    Allow the execution of raw JavaScript. Default is on.
    Use --noeval to disallow it.

Lemplate Options:

These compile time options are specific to Lemplate.

-s, --source
    Include the original template source code as a JavaScript
    comment next to each compiled template.

--exclude
    Exclude any file matching the given regular expression.
