                           OldTextTemplate

Legacy implementation of the old syntax text-based templates. This class is provided in a transition phase for backwards compatibility. New code should use the NewTextTemplate class and the improved syntax it provides.

>>> tmpl = OldTextTemplate('''Dear $name,
...
... We have the following items for you:
... #for item in items
...  * $item
... #end
...
... All the best,
... Foobar''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate(name='Joe', items=[1, 2, 3]).render(encoding=None))
Dear Joe,
<BLANKLINE>
We have the following items for you:
 * 1
 * 2
 * 3
<BLANKLINE>
All the best,
Foobar
