SYNOPSIS

9       preproc  [-h]  [--no-break-on-failure] [--debug] [-e <varname>=<value>]
10       [-s PATH] [-C path]

DESCRIPTION

13       Simple text preprocessor implementing a very basic templating language.
14       You  can use {{{ <bash_code> }}} tags in a text file and then pipe con‐
15       tent of that file to preproc. preproc will replace  each  of  the  tags
16       with  stdout of <bash_code> and print the final renderred result to its
17       own stdout. NOTE: You need to trust input files that you pass  to  pre‐
18       proc.  Running  preproc  on an unknown file is equivalent of running an
19       unknown script on your computer.

OPTIONS

22       --no-break-on-failure
23              Normally, preproc will immediately stop processing as soon as an
24              error is encountered. This switch changes the behavior.
