## Notes

Askama is a template engine for Rust with a syntax based on Jinja. Templates are compiled into the Rust crate that uses them, so the template code becomes part of that crate at build time. The crate is added with cargo.

The project was forked into Rinja and that fork was later merged back, so older references may use either name.
