Add docs to the wiki

As far as I am aware at the moment the only way to iterate over an array is a map operation. I think adding a StringTemplate style iteration would be great. I mean something like this:

$["john","mary", "mark", "peter"]:{ it | <b>name:</b> $it$}

Also, this should work for non-array values (treating such value as one-element array)

EDIT: It's just come to me that this is in fact an extension of http://github.com/filippo/sgte/issues/3 (applying function to an attribute) :-)

Add template inheritance feature from StringTemplate

There where some interesting changes/fixes a few months ago. time to cut a new release.

Apply should take multiple attributes:

$apply f var1 var2 var3$

translates to f(var1, var2, var3)

in the same way we could write something like:

$(var1, var2, var3):f$

If rendering fails due to wrong data type or missing attribute in data, it should return {error, Reason}. If rendering is successful, it should return {ok, string()}.

Currently there is no way to check at runtime if rendering failed or no.

To maintain backward compatibility a new flag (e.g. raise_error) should be added to options. If this flag is set and rendering fails {error, Reason} should be returned else string() should be returned.

Line 317 of sgte_parse.erl - the function parse_ift has a different arity than the docstring, causing edoc, which is java-like-paranoid about such things, to not compile all the docs.

Improve unicode implementation with options in the compile and render phase to correctly handle input and output encodings

Add some syntactic to apply. E.g.
$apply upperCase strings.name$
might be written as:
$string.name:upperCase$
