+Jinja
+=====
+
+Jinja is a fast, expressive, extensible templating engine. Special
+placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python
+syntax. Then the template is passed data to render the final document.
+
+It includes:
+
+- Template inheritance and inclusion.
+- Define and import macros within templates.
+- HTML templates can use autoescaping to prevent XSS from untrusted
+ user input.
+- A sandboxed environment can safely render untrusted templates.
+- AsyncIO support for generating templates and calling async
+ functions.
+- I18N support with Babel.
+- Templates are compiled to optimized Python code just-in-time and
+ cached, or can be compiled ahead-of-time.
+- Exceptions point to the correct line in templates to make debugging
+ easier.
+- Extensible filters, tests, functions, and even syntax.
+
+Jinja's philosophy is that while application logic belongs in Python if
+possible, it shouldn't make the template designer's job difficult by
+restricting functionality too much.
+
+
