Hi, sorry I am looking into the source code filters for nim and it is actually kind of hard to figure out what a good use case for them is, or if they have any uses besides just generating xml. I was just wondering if anyone had any examples of how they have used them in their projects or anywhere to find more information on them in action so I can see what I can do with them. it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It can be used to generate any templated file you like. I have used it to generate SystemVerilog and HTML files.

What are you trying to achieve and where do you need help with the Source Code Filters?

I used it to generate Golang boilerplate source codes for my last job.

We use it for the HTML in our website creator. You can see the source code in the repo.

You are right. The docu is absolutely sparse. I gave up on trying to understand it too.

nim-templates Front onionhammer is a good replacement IMHO.
