Introduction

This document describes a new Cookiecutter version 2 template format based on two sources:

1. A proof-of-concept submitted via Cookiecutter Pull Request #848 by hackebrot. Specific format information from this pull request is contained herein as notes by hackebrot.
2. Additional format features and functionality described herein are based on implementation and usage experience associated with a specific reference implementation of Cookiecutter by eruber that supports this proposed template format.

This document is not meant to serve as a formal template format specification; it exists simply to describe the template format proposed and its evolution based on solving practical issues encountered when using the format to implement a large complex project template.

All errors (via omission or commission), oversights, and/or misguided implementation decisions reflected herein, rest solely on the shoulders of the primary author, eruber.
