interpolation.yml

overview: |
  Interpolation tags are used to integrate dynamic content into the template.

  The tag's content MUST be a non-whitespace character sequence NOT containing
  the current closing delimiter.

  This tag's content names the data to replace the tag.  A single period (`.`)
  indicates that the item currently sitting atop the context stack should be
  used; otherwise, name resolution is as follows:
    1) Split the name on periods; the first part is the name to resolve, any
    remaining parts should be retained.
    2) Walk the context stack from top to bottom, finding the first context
    that is a) a hash containing the name as a key OR b) an object responding
    to a method with the given name.
    3) If the context is a hash, the data is the value associated with the
    name.
    4) If the context is an object, the data is the value returned by the
    method with the given name.
    5) If any name parts were retained in step 1, each should be resolved
    against a context stack containing only the result from the former
    resolution.  If any part fails resolution, the result should be considered
    falsey, and should interpolate as the empty string.
  Data should be coerced into a string (and escaped, if appropriate) before
  interpolation.

  The Interpolation tags MUST NOT be treated as standalone.
