// Functions and methods to parse templates.

// Must is a helper that wraps a call to a function returning (*Template, error)
// and panics if the error is non-nil. It is intended for use in variable
// initializations such as
//
//	var t = template.Must(template.New("name").Parse("text"))

// the named files. The returned template's name will have the base name and
// parsed contents of the first file. There must be at least one file.
// If an error occurs, parsing stops and the returned *Template is nil.
//
// When parsing multiple files with the same name in different directories,
// the last one mentioned will be the one that results.
// For instance, ParseFiles("a/foo", "b/foo") stores "b/foo" as the template
// named "foo", while "a/foo" is unavailable.

// otherwise it is t. There must be at least one file.
// Since the templates created by ParseFiles are named by the base
// names of the argument files, t should usually have the name of one
// of the (base) names of the files. If it does not, depending on t's
// contents before calling ParseFiles, t.Execute may fail. In that
// case use t.ExecuteTemplate to execute a valid template.
