Redistribution of the standard text/template Go package with the following modifications:

Added the ~ and # space trimmers:

~ will only trim whitespace characters that do not represent a new line (CR or LF).

line 1
  {{~ "line 2"}}
line 3

=>
line 1
line 2
line 3

# will do:

• If the trimmer is on the left, it will seek whitespace until it finds something that is not whitespace. Then, if it was on a different line from where it started, it will leave that line's line break behind and consume the rest. If there was trailing whitespace in that line, it will be kept too.

• If the trimmer is on the right, it will seek whitespace until it finds something that is not whitespace. Then, if it was on a different line from where it started, it will leave that line's whitespace behind and consume the rest.

  line 1

  {{# "line 2"}}
  line 3

=>
  line 1
line 2
  line 3

  line 1
  {{"line 2" #}}

  line 3

=>
  line 1
  line 2  line 3

Made {{template}} allow terms as template names

{{- define "one" -}} I {{.}} {{- end -}}
{{- $tmpl := "one" -}}

{{template $tmpl "u"}}

=>
I u

Added shorthands for define and template

• define -> def
• template -> t

{{- def "one" -}} I {{.}} {{- end -}}
{{- $tmpl := "one" -}}

{{t $tmpl "u"}}
