Consider the following example.

let template = """
<%@params posts %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Golo Chat</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <form action="/" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="msg">
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
  </form>
  <div>
    <h3>Last posts</h3>
    <% foreach post in posts { %>
      <div>
        <%= post %>
      </div>
    <% } %>
  </div>
  </body>
</html>
"""

This multi-line string has a Golo template. It can be compiled into a function as follows:

let tpl = gololang.TemplateEngine(): compile(template)
println(tpl(someDataModel: posts()))
