Hello, {{name}}
Body: {{{unescaped}}}

<!-- each -->
{{#mylist:i}}
  <li>{{this.name}}</li>
  <li>{{name}}</li>
  <li>{{.}}</li> <!-- same as 'this' -->

{{^user}}Not logged in{{/user}} <!-- if false -->

{{>partialName}}

This transforms the list attribute via a helper function called sort().

{{# sort(list, "name") :num }}
  <li>{{num}} - {{name}}</li>
