	This provides a kind of web template support, built on top of [arsd.dom] and [arsd.script], in support of [arsd.cgi].

	```html
		<main body-class="foo">
			<%=HTML some_var_with_html %>
			<%= some_var %>

			<if-true cond="whatever">
				whatever == true
			</if-true>
			<or-else>
				whatever == false
			</or-else>

			<for-each over="some_array" as="item" index="idx">
				<%= item %>
			</for-each>
			<or-else>
				there were no items.
			</or-else>

			<form>
				<!-- new on July 17, 2021 (dub v10.3) -->
				<hidden-form-data from="data_var" name="arg_name" />
			</form>

			<render-template file="partial.html" />

			<document-fragment></document-fragment>

			<script>
				var a = <%= some_var %>; // it will be json encoded in a script tag, so it can be safely used from Javascript
			</script>
		</main>
	```

	Functions available:
		`encodeURIComponent`, `formatDate`, `dayOfWeek`, `formatTime`, `filterKeys`

	History:
		Things inside script tag were added on January 7, 2022.

		This module was added to dub on September 11, 2023 (dub v11.2).

		It was originally written in July 2019 to support a demonstration of moving a ruby on rails app to D.

/++
	A class to render web template files into HTML documents.


	You can customize various parts of this with subclassing and dependency injection. Customization hook points include:

	$(NUMBERED_LIST
		* You pass a [TemplateLoader] instance to the constructor. This object is responsible for loading a particular
		named template and returning a string of its html text. If you don't pass one, the default behavior is to load a
		particular file out of the templates directory.

		* The next step is transforming the string the TemplateLoader returned into a document object model. This is done
		by a private function at this time. If you want to use a different format than HTML, you should either embed the other
		language in your template (you can pass a translator to the constructor, details to follow later in this document)

		* Next, the contexts must be prepared. It will call [addDefaultFunctions] on each one to prepare them. You can override that
		to provide more or fewer functions.

		* Now, it is time to expand the template. This is done by a private function, so you cannot replace this step, but you can
		customize it in some ways by passing functions to the constructor's `embeddedTagTranslators` argument.

		* At this point, it combines the expanded template with the skeleton to form the complete, expanded document.

		* Finally, it will call your custom post-processing function right before returning the document. You can override the [postProcess] method to add custom behavior to this step.
	)

	### Custom Special Tags

	You can define translator for special tags, such as to embed a block of custom markup inside your template.

	Let's suppose we want to add a `<plaintext>...</plaintext>` tag that does not need HTML entity encoding.

	```html
		<main>
			I can use <b>HTML</b> &amp; need to respect entity encoding here.

			<plaintext>
				But here, I can write & as plain text and <b>html</b> will not work.
			</plaintext>
		</main>
	```

	We can make that possible by defining a custom special tag when constructing the `WebTemplateRenderer`, like this:

	---
		auto renderer = new WebTemplateRenderer(null /* no special loader needed */, [
			// this argument is the special tag name and a function to work with it
			// listed as associative arrays.
			"plaintext": function(string content, string[string] attributes) {
				import arsd.dom;
				return WebTemplateRenderer.EmbeddedTagResult(new TextNode(content));
			}
		]);
	---

	The associative array keys are the special tag name. For each one, this instructs the HTML parser to treat them similarly to `<script>` - it will read until the closing tag, making no attempt to parse anything else inside it. It just scoops of the content, then calls your function to decide what to do with it.

	$(SIDEBAR
		Note: just like with how you cannot use `"</script>"` in a Javascript block in HTML, you also need to avoid using the closing tag as a string in your custom thing!
	)

	Your function is given an associative array of attributes on the special tag and its inner content, as raw source, from the file. You must construct an appropriate DOM element from the content (including possibly a `DocumentFragment` object if you need multiple tags inside) and return it, along with, optionally, an enumerated value telling the renderer if it should try to expand template text inside this new element. If you don't provide a value, it will try to automatically guess what it should do based on the returned element type. (That is, if you return a text node, it will try to do a string-based replacement, and if you return another node, it will descend into it the same as any other node written in the document looking for `AspCode` elements.)

	The example given here returns a `TextNode`, so we let it do the default string-based template content processing. But if we returned `WebTemplateRenderer.EmbeddedTagResult(new TextNode(content), false);`, it would not support embedded templates and any `<% .. %>` stuff would be left as-is.

	$(TIP
		You can trim some of that namespace spam if you make a subclass and pass it to `super` inside your constructor.

/++
	Loads a template from the template directory, applies the given context variables, and returns the html document in dom format. You can use [Document.toString] to make a string.

	Parameters:
		templateName = the name of the main template to load. This is usually a .html filename in the `templates` directory (but see also the `loader` param)
		context = the global object available to scripts inside the template
		skeletonContext = the global object available to the skeleton template
		skeletonName = the name of the skeleton template to load. This is usually a .html filename in the `templates` directory (but see also the `loader` param), and the skeleton file has the boilerplate html and defines placeholders for the main template
		loader = a class that defines how to load templates by name. If you pass `null`, it uses a default implementation that loads files from the `templates/` directory.

		Parameter `loader` was added on December 11, 2023 (dub v11.3)

/++
	Serves up a directory of template files as html. This is meant to be used for some near-static html in the midst of an application, giving you a little bit of dynamic content and conveniences with the ease of editing files without recompiles.

	Parameters:
		urlPrefix = the url prefix to trigger this handler, relative to the current dispatcher base
		directory = the directory, under the template directory, to find the template files
		skeleton = the name of the skeleton file inside the template directory
		extension = the file extension to add to the url name to get the template name
		wtrFactory = an alias to a function of type `WebTemplateRenderer function(TemplateLoader loader)` that returns `new WebTemplateRenderer(loader)` (or similar subclasses/argument lists);

	To get the filename of the template from the url, it will:

	1) Strip the url prefixes off to get just the filename

	2) Concatenate the directory with the template directory

	3) Add the extension to the givenname

	$(PITFALL
		The `templateDirectory` parameter may be removed or changed in the near future.
	)

	History:
		Added July 28, 2021 (documented dub v11.0)

		The `wtrFactory` parameter was added on February 5, 2024 (dub v11.5).
