Generate text

Generate text from a template using the jiren command. This command can read a template from stdin or files.

hello, world

An example of reading a template from a file:

Command:

cat <<EOF >template.j2
hello, {{ name }}
EOF

jiren -i template.j2 -- --name=world

Outputs:

hello, world

In this example, the template contains a variable called name. You can set values for variables in a template using program arguments passed to the jiren command. Note that the arguments for the variables must be located after --.

If you want to know more about template format, please refer to jinja2 document ( http://jinja.pocoo.org/ ).

echo "{{ greeting }}, {{ name }}" | jiren -- --help
