+
+A simple server-side HTML templating engine for Dart.
+
+Though its syntax is but a superset of HTML, it supports features such as:
+* Loops
+* Conditionals
+* Template inheritance
+* Block scoping
+* `switch` syntax
+* Interpolation of any Dart expression
+
+Jael is a good choice for applications of any scale, especially when the development team is small,
+or the time invested in building an SPA would be too much.
+
+## This Repository
+Within this repository are three packages:
+
+* `package:jael` - Contains the Jael parser, AST, and HTML renderer.
+* `package:jael_preprocessor` - Handles template inheritance, and facilitates the use of "compile-time" constructs.
+* `package:angel_jael` - [Angel](https://angel-dart.github.io) support for Jael. Angel contains other
+facilities to speed up application development, so something like Jael is right at home.

+[![Pub](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/jael_preprocessor.svg)](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/jael_preprocessor)
+[![build status](https://travis-ci.org/angel-dart/jael.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/angel-dart/jael)
+
+A pre-processor for resolving blocks and includes within
+[Jael](https://github.com/angel-dart/jael) templates.
+
+# Installation
+In your `pubspec.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  jael_prepreprocessor: ^1.0.0-alpha
+```
+
+# Usage
+It is unlikely that you will directly use this package, as it is
+more of an implementation detail than a requirement. However, it
+is responsible for handling `include` and `block` directives
+(template inheritance), so you are a package maintainer and want
+to support Jael, read on.
+
+To keep things simple, just use the `resolve` function, which will
+take care of inheritance for you.
+
+```dart
+import 'package:jael_preprocessor/jael_preprocessor.dart' as jael;
+
+myFunction() async {
+  var doc = await parseTemplateSomehow();
+  var resolved = await jael.resolve(doc, dir, onError: (e) => doSomething());
+}
+```
+
+You may occasionally need to manually patch in functionality that is not
+available through the official Jael packages. To achieve this, simply
+provide an `Iterable` of `Patcher` functions:
+
+```dart
+myOtherFunction(jael.Document doc) {
+  return jael.resolve(doc, dir, onError: errorHandler, patch: [
+    syntactic(),
+    sugar(),
+    etc(),
+  ]);
+}
+```
+
+**This package uses `package:file`, rather than `dart:io`.**
