templete system for C#

it works if you don't screw up the syntax

##syntax

'@' surrounds variables and loops

'?' starts a separator

'$' closes loops and separators

##variables

you can access fields of the data object, or any loop variable

hello, @name@!

together with data

new Archangel() { name = "metatron" }

becomes

hello, metatron!

##loops

you can loop through any IEnumerable

@archangel:archangels@hello, @archangel.name@!
$

with data

new Archangels() {
  archangels = new[] {
    new Archangel() { name = "metatron" },
    new Archangel() { name = "samael" },
    new Archangel() { name = "azrael" }
  }
}

becomes

hello, metatron!
hello, samael!
hello, azrael!

##separators

you can insert text on every loop iteration except the last. good for commas and such.

greetings: @archangel:archangels@@archangel.name@?, $$.

with data

new Archangels() {
  archangels = new[] {
    new Archangel() { name = "metatron" },
    new Archangel() { name = "samael" },
    new Archangel() { name = "azrael" }
  }
}

becomes

greetings: metatron, samael, azrael.
