### What is Gaunt?

[](#what-is-gaunt)

Gaunt is the simplest template engine written for Wordpress. The engine is heavily inspired and based upon Laravel 4 Blade. Gaunt is not nearly as heavy and feature-rich as dedicated template engines such as Smarty and Twig. But it helps you simplify your theme pages quite a lot.

### Installation

Gaunt is installable through [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/gaunt/gaunt).

     "gaunt/gaunt":"1.0.*"
