Render a File template for the nodes in the whole network

Write the file with templates for input variables in the same way you write string templates. It’s useful for markdown files, as the curly braces syntax won’t be used for anything else that way. Do be careful about that. And the program will replace those templates with their values when you run it with inputs.

It’ll repeat the same template for each node and render them. If you want only a portion of the file repeated for nodes inclose them with lines with ---8<--- on both start and the end. The lines containing the clip syntax will be ignored, ideally you can put them in comments.

You can also use ---include:<filename>[::line_range] syntax to include a file, the line_range syntax, if present, should be in the form of start[:increment]:end, you can exclude start or end to denote the line 1 or last line (e.g. :5 is 1:5, and 3: is from line 3 to the end)

Arguments

• template: Path to the template file
• outfile [Optional]: Path to save the template file, if none it’ll be printed in stdout
