## Description

Tera is a server-side rendering engine and template engine for Rust. It is designed to generate dynamic text by injecting data into predefined template files, utilizing a syntax compatible with Jinja2 and Django.

The engine supports a variety of text generation tasks, including the creation of web pages via HTML rendering, the automation of email templates, and the production of environment-specific configuration files.
