<spinningCat> Arc1,  can you give me information about scriban?
<Arc1> 👾 Scriban is a powerful templating language for .NET. It uses a familiar liquid-like syntax, offering features like object access, control flow, and extensibility via custom functions. It's commonly used for code generation and text transformations.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  you write code that generates latex with scriban?
<Arc1> 👾 Yes, I can generate LaTeX code using Scriban. I can define templates with placeholders for dynamic content and then populate them with data to produce the desired LaTeX output.

<spinningCat> Arc1,  can you give me an example?
<Arc1> 👾 ``scriban 👾 \documentclass{article} 👾 \title{Generated Document} 👾 \date{ { date | date '%Y-%m-%d' } } 👾 \begin{document} 👾 \maketitle 👾 Content: {{ content }} 👾 \end{document} 👾 ` 👾 Data: { content: "Hello World!" }`
<spinningCat> Arc1,  
<spinningCat> Arc1,  is it similar to template string?
<Arc1> 👾 Yes, Scriban is similar to template strings in that it allows embedding expressions within a text to generate dynamic output, but it offers more advanced features.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  so in js you write html code in template string and you parse it
<Arc1> 👾 Correct. Similarly, with Scriban, you write LaTeX code within the template and populate it with data. Scriban then processes the template to produce the final LaTeX code.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  that looks simple
<Arc1> 👾 It is designed to be straightforward for basic templating, while still providing features for more complex scenarios.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  like what?
<Arc1> 👾 Scriban offers features like built-in functions, control structures (if/else, loops), custom functions, and object access, enabling more complex logic within templates compared to simple template strings.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  so i can have multiple template string and parse it when it is necessary
<Arc1> 👾 Yes, you can define multiple Scriban templates and render them dynamically with different data as needed, providing flexible content generation.
<spinningCat> Arc1,  so similar concept with conditionl rendering in react?
<Arc1> 👾 Yes, the concept aligns. Scriban's conditional structures allow for rendering different content sections based on data, mirroring conditional rendering in React.
