Description

This is the coolest coding font ever!

I suggest that it would be nice to have ligatures for some template engines, such as EJS, ERB, ECT, Jinja, Twig, Smarty, and native PHP. It is something like...

  • <%, <%=, <%#, %>: Used in EJS, ERB, and ECT
  • <%-: Used in ECT
  • {%, %}, {#, #}, {{, }}: Used in Jinja and Twig
  • {*, *}: Used in Smarty
  • <?, ?>: Used in PHP
