=head1 NAME
Dancer::Template::TemplateToolkit - Template Toolkit wrapper for Dancer
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction layer
and the L<Template> module.
This template engine is recomended for production purposes, but depends on the
Template module.
In order to use this engine, use the template setting:
template: template_toolkit
This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code with the
B<set> keyword.
Note that by default, Dancer configures the Template::Toolkit engine to use
<% %> brackets instead of its default [% %] brackets. This can be changed
within your config file - for example:
template: template_toolkit
engines:
template_toolkit:
start_tag: '[%'
stop_tag: '%]'
