README

Logic Driven Text Language — an embeddable templating language interpreted in PHP. Like PHP, it is written inside arbitrary text: everything is literal until a bracket construct appears. Files use the .ldt extension.

The engine is a four-stage Lexer → Trimmer → Parser → Interpreter pipeline with a bracket-tag surface syntax and a nested data model.

Full documentation, syntax reference, and caveats: ldt-lang.syncroze.com

Installation

composer require syncroze/ldt-lang

syncroze/ldt-lang on Packagist

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Ldtlang\Ldt;

echo Ldt::render('Hello [set who = world][= @who]!');

The bundled CLI is available at vendor/bin/ldt:

vendor/bin/ldt template.ldt --set who=world

No Composer? The engine also runs with plain PHP — see autoload.php in the repository and the docs site for the dependency-free setup.
