+
+%% The rebar_erlydtl_compiler module is a plugin for rebar that compiles
+%% ErlyDTL templates.  By default, it compiles all templates/*.dtl
+%% to ebin/*_dtl.beam.
+%%
+%% Configuration options should be placed in rebar.config under
+%% 'erlydtl_opts'.  Available options include:
+%%
+%%  doc_root: where to find templates to compile
+%%            "templates" by default
+%%
+%%  out_dir: where to put compiled template beam files
+%%           "ebin" by default
+%%
+%%  source_ext: the file extension the template sources have
+%%              ".dtl" by default
+%%
+%%  module_ext: characters to append to the template's module name
+%%              "_dtl" by default
+%%
+%% For example, if you had:
+%%   /t_src/
+%%          base.html
+%%          foo.html
+%%
+%% And you wanted them compiled to:
+%%   /priv/
+%%         base.beam
+%%         foo.beam
+%%
+%% You would add to your rebar.config:
+%%   {erlydtl_opts, [
+%%               {doc_root,   "t_src"},
+%%               {out_dir,    "priv"},
+%%               {source_ext, ".html"},
+%%               {module_ext, ""}
+%%              ]}.
+%%
+%% The default settings are the equivalent of:
+%%   {erlydtl_opts, [
+%%               {doc_root,   "templates"},
+%%               {out_dir,    "ebin"},
+%%               {source_ext, ".dtl"},
+%%               {module_ext, "_dtl"}
+%%              ]}.
