Rendering¶

Rendering is the action to take a template and its related data, to produce a target format.

Usually, the rules to render the format are complex.

For example, rendering an HTML page, javascript, PDF, YAML, etc..

<?php

$name = "elephpant";
$template = "Hello NAME";

// very simple rendering

echo str_replace('NAME', $name, $template);

?>
