Templating

BrickLayer has an extremely powerful templating engine. It allows you to define custom tag identifiers and write your own handlers for the template tags themselves. Since you can define your own tag identifiers you can even do multipass templating using the engine. Bricklayer template tags look like XML elements. They take this form: <IdentifierTagName></IdentifierTagName> and can be container or single tags. Container tags require a closing tag just like XML elements do. Single tags can close the same way that XML elements do: <IdentifierTagName /> We'll go into more detail on the templating engine, and how you can use it, in the templating Chapter.
