+ \since Qbs 1.13
+
+ \brief Provides support for text template files
+
+ The \c texttemplate module provides support for text template files.
+
+ \section2 Example
+
+ Consider the following text file \e{greeting.txt.in}.
+
+ \code
+ ${greeting} ${name}!
+ \endcode
+
+ This can be used in a project like this:
+
+ \code
+ Product {
+ type: ["text"]
+ files: ["greeting.txt.in"]
+ Depends { name: "texttemplate" }
+ texttemplate.dict: ({
+ greeting: "Hello",
+ name: "World"
+ })
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ Which will create the file \e{greeting.txt}.
+
+ \code
+ Hello World!
+ \endcode
+
+
+ \section2 Placeholder Syntax
+
+ A placeholder \c{${foo}} is replaced by its corresponding value in
+ \e{texttemplate.dict}.
+ Placeholder names consist of alphanumeric characters only.
+
+ The placeholder \c{${$}} is always replaced with \c{$}.
+ If you need a literal \c{${foo}} in your template, use \c{${$}{foo}}.
+
+ Placeholders that are not defined in the dictionary will produce an error.
