Templating Language and DOCS improvements

Feature requests
1

First of all, thanks for this wonderful project!

I was using Lume SSG before I’ve seen Zola, I’d say Zola is really fast, it could be even faster! But the templating language can be improved. I really like Vento because every expression is same in “{{ }}” and it’s too powerful but in Tera we have “{% %}” (this) expectionally for expressions, maybe it’s because of parsing strategy but wouldn’t you parse the inside first like see which expression used in “{% %}” and the thing is it’s really hard to type, there is no plugin for Zed too.

  • Tera plugin for Zed editor (Enable Emmed in it too, like HTML and good syntax highlighting like Jinja2)
  • Improve Tera
  • Documentation really needs to be improved, there are not so many guides on internet too, maybe it’s hard to get in, but to me it was simple, we have folders in default, but the section and page templates, really needs help IMO, I could help too!

In addition, did you consider Lightning CSS?

You should be able to use Jinja2 highlighting for Tera.
As for removing {% %} in favour of {{ }}, nah. Having magic expressions in expressions doesn’t seem like an improvement to me

I can select or do it but the problem is there is no syntax highlighting, it would be cool if you supported Zed Editor, for templating maybe you are right!
