Plugin template type

Delegates string generation to a plugin for maximum performance. Configuration selects the plugin by name. .. summary-end

In plugin templates, the output string is generated by a plugin (also called a string generator). The format is fixed as coded in the plugin, which offers high performance at the cost of flexibility. The template parameter plugin specifies the generator name, and the plugin must be loaded before use.

Configuration example:

template(name="tpl4" type="plugin" plugin="mystrgen")

Refer to the plugin’s documentation for further details.
