Brace
=====

[](#brace)

Brace is a lightweight templating syntax for PHP that uses a familiar `{{ double-brace }}` syntax. It shares similarities with popular templating engines such as [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/), [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/), [Smarty](https://www.smarty.net/), and [Latte](https://latte.nette.org/).

Designed to be simple and easy to adopt, Brace focuses on a low learning curve while remaining flexible enough for most templating needs. It provides essential functionality out of the box without requiring additional dependencies.

Syntax
------

[](#syntax)

By default, Brace loads `.tpl` files from the current directory. The following example loads multiple templates, `document-header.tpl`, `template.tpl`, and `document-footer.tpl`, and outputs them as a single HTML file.
