+Jinja2
+~~~~~~
+
+Jinja2 is a template engine written in pure Python.  It provides a
+`Django`_ inspired non-XML syntax but supports inline expressions and
+an optional `sandboxed`_ environment.
+
+Nutshell
+--------
+
+Here a small example of a Jinja template::
+
+    {% extends 'base.html' %}
+    {% block title %}Memberlist{% endblock %}
+    {% block content %}
+      <ul>
+      {% for user in users %}
+        <li><a href="{{ user.url }}">{{ user.username }}</a></li>
+      {% endfor %}
+      </ul>
+    {% endblock %}
+
+Philosophy
+----------
+
+Application logic is for the controller but don't try to make the life
+for the template designer too hard by giving him too few functionality.
+
+For more informations visit the new `Jinja2 webpage`_ and `documentation`_.
+
+The `Jinja2 tip`_ is installable via `easy_install` with ``easy_install
+Jinja2==dev``.
