-
-## Caching
-
-
-
-miki-template caches compiled templates for performance. The cache is an in-memory LRU with a 100-entry limit.
-
-
-
-### Clearing the Cache
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { clearCache } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    clearCache();
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { clearCache } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    clearCache();
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-### When to Clear Cache
-
-
-
-- **Development** — when templates change frequently on disk
-
-- **Tests** — to ensure fresh compilation
-
-- **Runtime filter/tag registration** — when dynamically registering custom tags/filters
-
-
-
-```javascript
-
-// Development middleware that clears cache on file changes
-
-const { clearCache } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
-
-  fs.watch('./views', () => {
-
-    clearCache();
-
-    console.log('Template cache cleared');
-
-  });
-
-}
-
-```
-
-
-
-### How Caching Works
-
-
-
-- Templates are cached by source string and compile options.
-
-- The cache key combines the template source and the options object (views, custom settings).
-
-- Cached templates are reused across renders, improving performance for repeated templates.
-
-
-
-## Library System
-
-
-
-Libraries are bundles of filters, tags, and helpers that can be loaded into templates. Built-in libraries (humanize, cache, lorem, markdown, i18n) are auto-activated.
-
-
-
-### Registering a Library
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { registerLibrary } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    registerLibrary('myutils', {
-
-      filters: {
-
-        shout: (val) => String(val).toUpperCase() + '!',
-
-        whisper: (val) => String(val).toLowerCase() + '...'
-
-      },
-
-      tags: {
-
-        timestamp: (tagContent, parser) => ({
-
-          render: () => new Date().toISOString()
-
-        })
-
-      },
-
-      helpers: {
-
-        formatPrice: (val) => `$${Number(val).toFixed(2)}`
-
-      }
-
-    });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { registerLibrary } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    registerLibrary('myutils', {
-
-      filters: {
-
-        shout: (val) => String(val).toUpperCase() + '!',
-
-        whisper: (val) => String(val).toLowerCase() + '...'
-
-      },
-
-      tags: {
-
-        timestamp: (tagContent, parser) => ({
-
-          render: () => new Date().toISOString()
-
-        })
-
-      },
-
-      helpers: {
-
-        formatPrice: (val) => `$${Number(val).toFixed(2)}`
-
-      }
-
-    });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-### Loading Libraries in Templates
-
-
-
-Once registered, load the library with `{% load %}`:
-
-
-
-```html
-
-{% load myutils %}
-
-
-
-{{ price|formatPrice }}
-
-{{ message|shout }}
-
-{% timestamp %}
-
-```
-
-
-
-### Built-in Libraries
-
-
-
-The following libraries are auto-activated (no `{% load %}` needed):
-
-
-
-| Library | Features |
-
-|---------|----------|
-
-| `humanize` | Natural date formatting, number formatting |
-
-| `cache` | Cache control tags and filters |
-
-| `lorem` | Lorem ipsum placeholder text |
-
-| `markdown` | `{{ content|markdown }}` filter for Markdown→HTML |
-
-| `i18n` | `{% trans %}` and `{% blocktrans %}` for translations |
-
-
-
-### Deactivating and Re-registering
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { unregisterLibrary, activateLibrary } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    // Remove a library
-
-    unregisterLibrary('lorem');
-
-
-
-    // Re-activate
-
-    activateLibrary('lorem');
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { unregisterLibrary, activateLibrary } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    unregisterLibrary('lorem');
-
-    activateLibrary('lorem');
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-## i18n / Internationalization
-
-
-
-miki-template includes a built-in i18n system supporting `{% trans %}` and `{% blocktrans %}` tags.
-
-
-
-### Registering Translations
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const miki = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    miki.setLanguage('fr');
-
-    miki.registerTranslation('fr', {
-
-      'Hello': 'Bonjour',
-
-      'Goodbye': 'Au revoir',
-
-      'Welcome, {name}!': 'Bienvenue, {name} !'
-
-    });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { setLanguage, registerTranslation } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    setLanguage('fr');
-
-    registerTranslation('fr', {
-
-      'Hello': 'Bonjour',
-
-      'Goodbye': 'Au revoir',
-
-      'Welcome, {name}!': 'Bienvenue, {name} !'
-
-    });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-### Setting Fallback Language
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { setLanguage, setFallbackLanguage } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    setLanguage('fr');
-
-    setFallbackLanguage('en');
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { setLanguage, setFallbackLanguage } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    setLanguage('fr');
-
-    setFallbackLanguage('en');
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-### Template Usage
-
-
-
-```html
-
-{% trans "Hello" %}
-
-{% blocktrans %}Welcome, {{ name }}!{% endblocktrans %}
-
-```
-
-
-
-### Managing Languages
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const {
-
-      registerTranslation,
-
-      unregisterTranslation,
-
-      setLanguage,
-
-      getLanguage,
-
-      setFallbackLanguage,
-
-      getFallbackLanguage,
-
-      getAvailableLanguages
-
-    } = require('miki-template');
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import {
-
-      registerTranslation,
-
-      unregisterTranslation,
-
-      setLanguage,
-
-      getLanguage,
-
-      setFallbackLanguage,
-
-      getFallbackLanguage,
-
-      getAvailableLanguages
-
-    } from 'miki-template';
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-## Template Discovery
-
-
-
-The `findTemplateInViews()` function intelligently locates templates in nested directories.
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { findTemplateInViews, setAppTemplateDirNames } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    // Customize which directory names are treated as app template roots
-
-    setAppTemplateDirNames(['templates', 'views', 'pages']);
-
-
-
-    // Search for a template by name
-
-    const found = findTemplateInViews('home', ['./views', './app/templates']);
-
-    console.log(found);
-
-    // → /absolute/path/to/app/templates/home.html
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { findTemplateInViews, setAppTemplateDirNames } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    setAppTemplateDirNames(['templates', 'views', 'pages']);
-
-    const found = findTemplateInViews('home', ['./views', './app/templates']);
-
-    console.log(found);
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-## Partial Templates
-
-
-
-Partials let you define reusable template fragments using `{% partialdef %}` and render them on demand.
-
-
-
-### Defining and Rendering Partials
-
-
-
-```html
-
-{% partialdef card %}
-
-  <div class="card">
-
-    <h3>{{ user.name }}</h3>
-
-    <p>{{ user.email }}</p>
-
-  </div>
-
-{% endpartialdef %}
-
-```
-
-
-
-Render a partial:
-
-
-
-=== "CommonJS"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    const { render, compile } = require('miki-template');
-
-
-
-    // Using render() with file partials:
-
-    const html = render('home#card', { user: userData }, { views: './views' });
-
-
-
-    // Using compiled.renderPartial():
-
-    const compiled = compile(templateString);
-
-    const partialHtml = compiled.renderPartial('card', { user: userData });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { render, compile } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    const html = render('home#card', { user: userData }, { views: './views' });
-
-
-
-    const compiled = compile(templateString);
-
-    const partialHtml = compiled.renderPartial('card', { user: userData });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-### Partial with Context
-
-
-
-```html
-
-{% partialdef greeting %}
-
-  Hello, {{ name }}! You have {{ count }} messages.
-
-{% endpartialdef %}
-
-
-
-{% partial greeting with name="Alice" count=3 %}
-
-```

-
-
-
-      return {
-
-        render: (context) => {
-
-          const body = nodelist.map(n => n.render(context)).join('');
-
-          return markSafe(marked(body));

-
-        }
-
-      };

-
-
-    registerHelper('truncate_words', (str, count) => {
-
-      const words = String(str).split(/\s+/);
-
-      return words.slice(0, count).join(' ') + (words.length > count ? '...' : '');
-
-    });
-
-    ```
-
-
-
-=== "ES Modules"
-
-
-
-    ```javascript
-
-    import { registerHelper } from 'miki-template';
-
-
-
-    registerHelper('truncate_words', (str, count) => {
-
-      const words = String(str).split(/\s+/);
-
-      return words.slice(0, count).join(' ') + (words.length > count ? '...' : '');
