API
brio :: (Template → Params → String) → Tree String Template → Path → Params → String
Takes a templater, a tree of templates, a path to a template, some params and spits out a compiled string.
Templaters
Are any curried function taking a template and some parameters and returning a string. Handlebars fits nicely, as does _.template.
