Two code formats are considered to be tested, simple and loop.

Simple code is:

<div class="test">
    <h2>This is a test of {{ name }}</h2>
    <p>The homepage is <a href="{{ url }}">{{ url }}</a>.</p>
    <p>The sources is: {{ source }}</p>
</div>

Loop code is:

<div class="comments">
    <h3>{{ header }}</h3>
    <ul>
        {{# comments }}
        <li class="comment">
            <h5>{{ name }}</h5>
            <p>{{ body }}</p>
        </li>
        {{/ comments }}
    </ul>
</div>
