=head1 NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::TextTemplate - something that renders a Text::Template template string
=head1 VERSION
version 4.300030
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Plugins implementing TextTemplate may call their own C<L</fill_in_string>>
method to render templates using L<Text::Template|Text::Template>.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 delim
This attribute (which can't easily be set!) is a two-element array reference
returning the Text::Template delimiters to use. It defaults to C<{{> and
C<}}>.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 fill_in_string
my $rendered = $plugin->fill_in_string($template, \%stash, \%arg);
This uses Text::Template to fill in the given template using the variables
given in the C<%stash>. The stash becomes the HASH argument to Text::Template,
so scalars must be scalar references rather than plain scalars.
C<%arg> is dereferenced and passed in as extra arguments to Text::Template's
C<fill_in_string> routine.
