Multiple template engines

By default, the template engine used to render a file is decided according to the file extension. For example, an .md file uses Markdown, .njk file uses Nunjucks and so on.

You can override this default behaviour with the templateEngine option. Any page having this variable will use it to decide the template engine instead of the extension.

The following example is an .md file but it is configured to use Nunjucks to render (instead of Markdown).

---
title: My post
templateEngine: njk
---

# Hello world

A typical example is a file using Markdown to render HTML but Nunjucks to insert variables or includes. To do that, you can use an array to add several engines:

---
title: My post
templateEngine: [njk, md]
---

# Hello, this is the post title {{ title }}

In the example above, the page will be rendered using Nunjucks first and then Markdown.
