Katar
=====

[](#katar)

Katar is a tiny PHP templating engine based on Blade. It was designed to be simple and clean.

Katar is easy to include into any existing project, just require it with composer! It even has a Silex service provider if you are interested.

For more information see the documentation.

Syntax at a glance
------------------

[](#syntax-at-a-glance)

```
@if $age > 22
    The age is bigger than 22
@else
    The age is not bigger than 22
@endif

@for $person in $people
    Person #{{ $for_index + 1 }}: {{ $person->name }}
@endfor

My name is {{ $name | strtoupper }}

@import 'myFile.katar.html'

{>
    @this is escaped code, everything inside the escape tags won't get
    processed by Katar.
 Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
