Liquid uses double braces - {{ }} - to surround output. Whatever you put inside the output tags is evaluated, and its result is sent to the resulting HTML for the template. For example, you can output a literal string:
{{ 'Copyright (c) 2008' }}
Using a literal string in an output tag will simply dump that string into your HTML. Output tags are more useful when combined with Liquid variables. For example, in Ascribe you can output your company's email address this way:
{{ company.email }}
Ascribe provides a number of custom variables for use in your templates.
You can also include filters within output tags. A filter is a simple method that takes a single parameter, which is always the output of the portion of the output to the left of the filter. For example, you can use the mail_to filter within an Ascribe template to turn your company's email address into a clickable link:
{{ company.email | mail_to }}
If your company's email address is "bids@example.com" then this would produce the HTML markup:
<a href="mailto:bids@example.com">bids@example.com</a>
Ascribe allows the use of a wide variety of filters in your templates.
