    # A parser for the template syntax used for generating changelogs.
    #
    # As a quick primer on the template syntax, a basic template looks like
    # this:
    #
    #     {% each users %}
    #     Name: {{name}}
    #     Age: {{age}}
    #
    #     {% if birthday %}
    #     This user is celebrating their birthday today! Yay!
    #     {% end %}
    #     {% end %}
    #
    # For more information, refer to the Parslet documentation found at
    # http://kschiess.github.io/parslet/.
