Beginner question: includes?

[Yang Zhang]

How do I include one template in another, or instantiate parameterized
templates based on some skeleton? I tried inserting partials like {{>
box}} and creating box.mustache, but running mustache on the original
file won't work. Thanks in advance for any hints.

That's exactly how you do it. Did you get an error?

Can you paste the original file and directory layout?

$ cat > a.mustache
hello
{{> b}}

$ cat > b.mustache
world

$ mustache b.mustache > b

$ cat b
world

$ mustache a.mustache > a

$ cat a
hello
{{> b}}

$ mustache --version
Mustache v0.11.0

Render a.mustache, instead of b.mustache, then it will know a.mustache includes b.mustache.

    $ mustache a.mustache

:)

Okay, this is because the `mustache` command line helper doesn't work
the way you expect. This is my fault; I consider it a bug and I've
pushed out 0.11.1 with a fix.

To be clear, though, Mustache itself always worked the way you
expected. It was just that the command line helper, when not passed
any data, would not do anything. Weak.

$ cat a.mustache
hello
{{> b}}
$ cat b.mustache
world

$ mustache a.mustache
hello
world

$ mustache --version
Mustache v0.11.1

Sorry about that!
