Wow, I think calling this a templating engine is selling it short. I'd say it's a full blown view engine. The ability to add your own tags is just awesome, and template inheritance and composition is definitely something outside the norm for simple view engines. I have a few intranet sites currently using DotLiquid to generate email html emails on the server side - but that lacks things like template inheritance that I would normally get with full-blow razor views. I may try whipping up a quick node app just for sending emails so that I can take advantage of the template inheritance for my html emails.
