    \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.


    \section2 Relevant File Tags
    \target filetags-texttemplate

    \table
    \header
        \li Tag
        \li Auto-tagged File Names

        \li \c{"texttemplate.input"}
        \li \c{*.in}
        \li 1.13.0
        \li Source files with this tag serve as inputs for the text template rule.
