Template Usage
""""""""""""""

    Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through
    templates. You can either pass in a template or select an existing
    template-style from the command line, via the --template option.
    
    You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log,
    outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, and heads.
    
    Some built-in styles are packaged with Mercurial. These can be listed
    with :hg:`log --template list`. Example usage::
    
        $ hg log -r1.0::1.1 --template changelog
    
    A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable
    expansion::
    
        $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n"

    Keywords
    ========
    
    Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of
    keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These
    keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command:
    
    :activebookmark: String. The active bookmark, if it is associated with the changeset.
    
    :author: Alias for ``{user}``
    
    :bisect: String. The changeset bisection status.
    
    :bookmarks: List of strings. Any bookmarks associated with the
      changeset. Also sets 'active', the name of the active bookmark.
    
    :branch: String. The name of the branch on which the changeset was
      committed.
    
    :branches: List of strings. The name of the branch on which the

      is: [ctx1, ctx2], [ctx3] if ctx has been split into ctx1 and ctx2
      while also diverged into ctx3. (EXPERIMENTAL)
    
    :succsandmarkers: Returns a list of dict for each final successor of ctx. The dict
      contains successors node id in "successors" keys and the list of
      obs-markers from ctx to the set of successors in "markers".

    :verbosity: String. The current output verbosity in 'debug', 'quiet', 'verbose',
      or ''.
    
    :whyunstable: List of dicts explaining all instabilities of a changeset.
      (EXPERIMENTAL)
    
    The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you
    want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process
    it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input
    variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're
    applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable.
    You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output::
    
       $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n"
       2008-08-21 18:22 +0000
    
    Filters
    =======
    
    List of filters:
    
    :addbreaks: Any text. Add an XHTML "<br />" tag before the end of
      every line except the last.
    
    :age: Date. Returns a human-readable date/time difference between the
      given date/time and the current date/time.
    
    :basename: Any text. Treats the text as a path, and returns the last
      component of the path after splitting by the path separator.
      For example, "foo/bar/baz" becomes "baz" and "foo/bar//" becomes "".
    
    :cbor: Any object. Serializes the object to CBOR bytes.
    
    :commondir: List of text. Treats each list item as file name with /
      as path separator and returns the longest common directory
      prefix shared by all list items.
      Returns the empty string if no common prefix exists.
      
      The list items are not normalized, i.e. "foo/../bar" is handled as
      file "bar" in the directory "foo/..". Leading slashes are ignored.
      
      For example, ["foo/bar/baz", "foo/baz/bar"] becomes "foo" and
      ["foo/bar", "baz"] becomes "".
    
    :count: List or text. Returns the length as an integer.
    
    :dirname: Any text. Treats the text as a path, and strips the last
      component of the path after splitting by the path separator.
    
    :domain: Any text. Finds the first string that looks like an email
      address, and extracts just the domain component. Example: ``User
      <user@example.com>`` becomes ``example.com``.
    
    :email: Any text. Extracts the first string that looks like an email
      address. Example: ``User <user@example.com>`` becomes
      ``user@example.com``.
    
    :emailuser: Any text. Returns the user portion of an email address.
    
    :escape: Any text. Replaces the special XML/XHTML characters "&", "<"
      and ">" with XML entities, and filters out NUL characters.
    
    :fill68: Any text. Wraps the text to fit in 68 columns.
    
    :fill76: Any text. Wraps the text to fit in 76 columns.

    :hex: Any text. Convert a binary Mercurial node identifier into
      its long hexadecimal representation.
    
    :hgdate: Date. Returns the date as a pair of numbers: "1157407993
      25200" (Unix timestamp, timezone offset).
    
    :isodate: Date. Returns the date in ISO 8601 format: "2009-08-18 13:00
      +0200".
    
    :isodatesec: Date. Returns the date in ISO 8601 format, including
      seconds: "2009-08-18 13:00:13 +0200". See also the rfc3339date
      filter.
    
    :json: Any object. Serializes the object to a JSON formatted text.
    
    :lower: Any text. Converts the text to lowercase.
    
    :nonempty: Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.
    
    :obfuscate: Any text. Returns the input text rendered as a sequence of
      XML entities.
    
    :person: Any text. Returns the name before an email address,
      interpreting it as per RFC 5322.
    
    :revescape: Any text. Escapes all "special" characters, except @.
      Forward slashes are escaped twice to prevent web servers from prematurely
      unescaping them. For example, "@foo bar/baz" becomes "@foo%20bar%252Fbaz".
    
    :rfc3339date: Date. Returns a date using the Internet date format
      specified in RFC 3339: "2009-08-18T13:00:13+02:00".
    
    :rfc822date: Date. Returns a date using the same format used in email
      headers: "Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:00:13 +0200".
    
    :short: Changeset hash. Returns the short form of a changeset hash,
      i.e. a 12 hexadecimal digit string.
    
    :shortbisect: Any text. Treats `label` as a bisection status, and
      returns a single-character representing the status (G: good, B: bad,
      S: skipped, U: untested, I: ignored). Returns single space if `text`
      is not a valid bisection status.
    
    :shortdate: Date. Returns a date like "2006-09-18".
    
    :slashpath: Any text. Replaces the native path separator with slash.
    
    :splitlines: Any text. Split text into a list of lines.
    
    :stringify: Any type. Turns the value into text by converting values into
      text and concatenating them.
    
    :stripdir: Treat the text as path and strip a directory level, if
      possible. For example, "foo" and "foo/bar" becomes "foo".
    
    :tabindent: Any text. Returns the text, with every non-empty line
      except the first starting with a tab character.
    
    :upper: Any text. Converts the text to uppercase.
    
    :urlescape: Any text. Escapes all "special" characters. For example,
      "foo bar" becomes "foo%20bar".
    
    :user: Any text. Returns a short representation of a user name or email
      address.
    
    :utf8: Any text. Converts from the local character encoding to UTF-8.
    
    Note that a filter is nothing more than a function call, i.e.
    ``expr|filter`` is equivalent to ``filter(expr)``.
    
    Functions
    =========
    
    In addition to filters, there are some basic built-in functions:
    
    :config(section, name[, default]): Returns the requested hgrc config option as a string.
    
    :configbool(section, name[, default]): Returns the requested hgrc config option as a boolean.

    :date(date[, fmt]): Format a date. See :hg:`help dates` for formatting
      strings. The default is a Unix date format, including the timezone:
      "Mon Sep 04 15:13:13 2006 0700".
    
    :dict([[key=]value...]): Construct a dict from key-value pairs. A key may be omitted if
      a value expression can provide an unambiguous name.

    :fill(text[, width[, initialident[, hangindent]]]): Fill many
      paragraphs with optional indentation. See the "fill" filter.
    
    :filter(iterable[, expr]): Remove empty elements from a list or a dict. If expr specified, it's
      applied to each element to test emptiness.
    
    :formatnode(node): Obtain the preferred form of a changeset hash. (DEPRECATED)
    
    :get(dict, key): Get an attribute/key from an object. Some keywords
      are complex types. This function allows you to obtain the value of an
      attribute on these types.
    
    :if(expr, then[, else]): Conditionally execute based on the result of
      an expression.
    
    :ifcontains(needle, haystack, then[, else]): Conditionally execute based

      if present.
    
    :join(list, sep): Join items in a list with a delimiter.
    
    :label(label, expr): Apply a label to generated content. Content with
      a label applied can result in additional post-processing, such as
      automatic colorization.
    
    :latesttag([pattern]): The global tags matching the given pattern on the
      most recent globally tagged ancestor of this changeset.
      If no such tags exist, the "{tag}" template resolves to
      the string "null". See :hg:`help revisions.patterns` for the pattern
      syntax.
    
    :localdate(date[, tz]): Converts a date to the specified timezone.
      The default is local date.

      :hg:`help revset`.
    
    :rstdoc(text, style): Format reStructuredText.
    
    :search(pattern, text): Look for the first text matching the regular expression pattern.
      Groups are accessible as ``{1}``, ``{2}``, ... in %-mapped template.
    
    :separate(sep, args...): Add a separator between non-empty arguments.
    
    :shortest(node, minlength=4): Obtain the shortest representation of
      a node.

    :word(number, text[, separator]): Return the nth word from a string.
    
    Operators
    =========
    
    We provide a limited set of infix arithmetic operations on integers::
    
      + for addition
      - for subtraction
      * for multiplication
      / for floor division (division rounded to integer nearest -infinity)
    
    Division fulfills the law x = x / y + mod(x, y).
    
    Also, for any expression that returns a list, there is a list operator::
    
        expr % "{template}"
    
    As seen in the above example, ``{template}`` is interpreted as a template.
    To prevent it from being interpreted, you can use an escape character ``\{``
    or a raw string prefix, ``r'...'``.
    
    The dot operator can be used as a shorthand for accessing a sub item:
    
    - ``expr.member`` is roughly equivalent to ``expr % '{member}'`` if ``expr``
      returns a non-list/dict. The returned value is not stringified.
    - ``dict.key`` is identical to ``get(dict, 'key')``.
    
    Aliases
    =======
    
    New keywords and functions can be defined in the ``templatealias`` section of
    a Mercurial configuration file::
    
      <alias> = <definition>
    
    Arguments of the form `a1`, `a2`, etc. are substituted from the alias into
    the definition.
    
    For example,
    
    ::
    
      [templatealias]
      r = rev
      rn = "{r}:{node|short}"
      leftpad(s, w) = pad(s, w, ' ', True)
    
    defines two symbol aliases, ``r`` and ``rn``, and a function alias
    ``leftpad()``.
    
    It's also possible to specify complete template strings, using the
    ``templates`` section. The syntax used is the general template string syntax.
    
    For example,
    
    ::
    
      [templates]
      nodedate = "{node|short}: {date(date, "%Y-%m-%d")}\n"
    
    defines a template, ``nodedate``, which can be called like::
    
      $ hg log -r . -Tnodedate
    
    A template defined in ``templates`` section can also be referenced from
    another template::
    
      $ hg log -r . -T "{rev} {nodedate}"
    
    but be aware that the keywords cannot be overridden by templates. For example,
    a template defined as ``templates.rev`` cannot be referenced as ``{rev}``.
    
    A template defined in ``templates`` section may have sub templates which
    are inserted before/after/between items::
    
      [templates]
      myjson = ' {dict(rev, node|short)|json}'
      myjson:docheader = '\{\n'
      myjson:docfooter = '\n}\n'
      myjson:separator = ',\n'
    
    Examples
    ========
    
    Some sample command line templates:
    
    - Format lists, e.g. files::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "files:\n{files % '  {file}\n'}"
    
    - Join the list of files with a ", "::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "files: {join(files, ', ')}\n"
    
    - Join the list of files ending with ".py" with a ", "::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "pythonfiles: {join(files('**.py'), ', ')}\n"
    
    - Separate non-empty arguments by a " "::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{separate(' ', node, bookmarks, tags}\n"
    
    - Modify each line of a commit description::
    
       $ hg log --template "{splitlines(desc) % '**** {line}\n'}"
    
    - Format date::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{date(date, '%Y')}\n"
    
    - Display date in UTC::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{localdate(date, 'UTC')|date}\n"
    
    - Output the description set to a fill-width of 30::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{fill(desc, 30)}"
    
    - Use a conditional to test for the default branch::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{ifeq(branch, 'default', 'on the main branch',
       'on branch {branch}')}\n"
    
    - Append a newline if not empty::
    
       $ hg tip --template "{if(author, '{author}\n')}"
    
    - Label the output for use with the color extension::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{label('changeset.{phase}', node|short)}\n"
    
    - Invert the firstline filter, i.e. everything but the first line::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{sub(r'^.*\n?\n?', '', desc)}\n"
    
    - Display the contents of the 'extra' field, one per line::
    
       $ hg log -r 0 --template "{join(extras, '\n')}\n"
    
    - Mark the active bookmark with '*'::
    
       $ hg log --template "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, active, '*')} '}\n"
    
    - Find the previous release candidate tag, the distance and changes since the tag::
    
       $ hg log -r . --template "{latesttag('re:^.*-rc$') % '{tag}, {changes}, {distance}'}\n"
    
    - Mark the working copy parent with '@'::
    
       $ hg log --template "{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), '@')}\n"
    
    - Show details of parent revisions::
    
       $ hg log --template "{revset('parents(%d)', rev) % '{desc|firstline}\n'}"
    
    - Show only commit descriptions that start with "template"::
    
       $ hg log --template "{startswith('template', firstline(desc))}\n"
    
    - Print the first word of each line of a commit message::
    
       $ hg log --template "{word(0, desc)}\n"
