 The third argument defaults to `false`. Set it to `true` to render the same template once per array item, preserving order. An empty batch returns `[]`. With `false`, an array is treated as a single template context, for example with `{{#each this}}`.
 
-Both endpoints receive JSON in the form `{ template, data }`. Templates can use the string helpers and `switch` helper registered by HBS. Data must be a JSON object or an array of JSON objects; batch rendering requires an array of objects. Empty templates are allowed. Omitting `multi` is equivalent to passing `false`.
