1. Install the script

   The script can be installed with Bower, npm, or by grabbing the latest release from GitHub.

   bower install templaterjs # For Bower
   npm install templater.js # For npm

2. Load in the script

   If in a browser environment, with a <script> tag

   <script src="path/to/templater.min.js"></script>

   Or, if in a Node.js environment with a require()

   var templater = require("templater.js");

3. Create the template

   <!-- by giving it a non-standard `type` the browser will ignore it -->
   <script id="template" type="text/template">
   <h1>Hi, I'm {{name}}.</h1>
   </script>

4. Use template and render it against some data

   var template = templater(document.getElementById("template").innerHTML),
       context = {
         name: "Paul"
       };
   
   console.log(template(context)); // <h1>Hi, I'm Paul.</h1>
