    public abstract class AbstractTemplateEngine
    extends java.lang.Object
    A template is responsible for converting a model into a rendered document. The model consists of key/value pairs, some of them potentially converted from a markup language to HTML already.

    An appropriate rendering engine will be chosen by JBake based on the template suffix. If contents is not available in the supplied model, a template has access to the document database in order to complete the model. It is in particular interesting to optimize data access based on the underlying template engine capabilities.

    Note that some rendering engines may rely on a different rendering model than the one provided by the first argument of renderDocument(TemplateModel, String, Writer). In this case, it is the responsibility of the engine to convert it.
