NAME

       empy -  A powerful and robust templating system for Python

SYNOPSIS

       empy [options] [<filename, or  '-' for stdin>  [<argument>]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the empy command.

       EmPy  is  a  system  for  embedding Python expressions and statements in template text; it
       takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces output.  This  is  accomplished  via
       expansions,  which  are  special  signals  to the EmPy system and are set off by a special
       prefix (by default the at sign, @).

       EmPy can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this  way,  as  well  as  a
       variety  of  special  forms.  Textual  data  not  explicitly delimited in this way is sent
       unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language.  Also
       supported  are  callbacks  via  hooks, recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic,
       chainable filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options and embedded
       commands.

OPTIONS

       These  programs  follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
       two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included below.  For  a  complete  description,
       see the Info files.

              Show summary of options.
