Kirby Carver
============

[](#kirby-carver)

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

This plugin allows you to write custom HTML tags, powered by PHP.

Why?
----

[](#why)

Kirby is most awesome, but I do miss the simplicity of Textpattern's templating language, which looks like HTML. Having gone through available alternative templating engines like Twig and Blade, without much love, I decided to put this together.

For example, to get the a formatted date from a field, normally you would do something like this:

```

```

What if you could do this instead?

```

```

You can find some example tags in `site/plugins/carver/library`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Download the files and place in `plugins/carver`
- Create a folder called `carver` under the `site` folder. This is where you tags will be stored.

Usage
-----

Start by creating the following file: 'site/carver/date/tag.php'.

Add this code to the file:

```
