/**
  @brief The Template class is a tree of nodes which may be rendered.

  All Templates are created through the Grantlee::Engine class.
  A template is created by parsing some text markup passed into the Engine, or by
  reading it from a file.

  Note that Template is actually a typedef for a QSharedPointer<TemplateImpl>, so all of its members should be accessed with operator->().

  The result of parsing is a Template object which can be rendered multiple times with multiple different Contexts.

  @code
    Engine *engine = getEngine();
    Template t = engine->newTemplate( "{{ name }} is aged {{ age }}", "simple template" );
    if ( t->error() )
    {
      // Tokenizing or parsing error, or couldn't find custom tags or filters.
      qDebug() << t->errorString();
      return;
    }
    QTextStream textStream( stdout );
    OutputStream stream( textStream );

    for ( ... )
    {
      Context c;
      // ... c.insert
      t->render( stream, c );

      if (t->error())
      {
        // Rendering error.
        qDebug() << t->errorString();
      }
    }
  @endcode

  If there is an error in parsing or rendering, the error and errorString methods can be used to check the source of the error.
