Template

java.lang.Object
- com.google.auto.value.processor.escapevelocity.Template

```
public class Template
extends java.lang.Object
```
A template expressed in EscapeVelocity, a subset of the Velocity Template Language (VTL) from Apache. The intent of this implementation is that if a template is accepted and successfully produces output, that output will be identical to what Velocity would have produced for the same template and input variables.
