+.SH RENDERING
+.BI "colitur table " \-\-year " YEAR " \-\-template " FILE"
+and
+.BI "colitur render " \-\-template " FILE " \-\-year " YEAR"
+are the
+.I same
+operation under two names: compute the resolved year, shape it into the
+same view
+.B emit
+uses, and render it through
+.I FILE
+in one process. Both accept
+.BR \-\-flavour " and " \-\-overlay
+identically.
+.SS Why there is no stdin\-fed render
+The design this project followed originally sketched a Unix pipe,
+.BR "compute | render" ,
+with
+.B render
+reading a serialised view back from standard input. That is deliberately
+.I not
+built.
+Honouring the pipe would require a JSON
+.I parser
+inside
+.B colitur
+\(em a second hand\-rolled component, purely so this program could read back a
+view it had just serialised itself, and a second place for the published
+output schema to drift out of step with what the parser actually accepts.
+That is a real cost for no benefit over calling the same view builder
+directly in the same process, which is what
+.B table
+and
+.B render
+both do.
+.PP
+Unix composition is not abandoned, only narrowed to where it is cheap and
+honest:
+.B "colitur emit \-\-format json | jq"
+still composes fine, because that JSON is the
+.I output
+of the pipeline, never something
+.B colitur
+itself has to parse back in.
+.SS Templates
+.I FILE
+is a deliberately logic\-less, Mustache\-family template: it is
+.I data,
+never a program. The only constructs are
+.BR {{placeholder}} ,
+.BR {{#section}}...{{/section}} ,
+.BR {{^inverted}}...{{/inverted}}
+and
+.BR {{!comment}} .
+There are no partials, no lambdas, no expression evaluation, no arithmetic,
+and no filesystem or process access from inside a template. There is
+deliberately no "raw" or triple\-brace form either \(em a template cannot opt
+out of its flavour's escaping.
+.PP
+The template renders against the same schema
+.B emit
+uses (season, week, slug, rank, colour, subject, names, citations,
+commemorations), reshaped for two artefacts from one model: a flat booklet
+(the
+.B days
+list, one entry per day of the year) and a month grid (the
+.B weeks
+list, with padding cells flagged for the leading and trailing blanks a grid
+needs and a booklet does not). A key absent on a given day (an optional field
+a rite does not always set) renders as the empty string rather than an error
+\(em the one deliberate silence, so a template survives a day that does not
+carry every optional field.
+.PP
+See
+.BR colitur\-templates (5)
+for the full syntax, the escaping table per flavour, the complete
+view\-model field reference, and \(em before writing a template of any
+complexity \(em its
+.B SCOPE AND LOOKUP
+section: an inner key silently loses to an outer key of the same name (a bare
+.B {{name.la}}
+inside a day resolves to the enclosing MONTH's name, not the day's own),
+which has produced wrong output in this project's own templates.
+.SS Flavours
+.BI \-\-flavour
+controls how interpolated
+.I values
+are escaped for the target format. It never touches the template's own
+literal markup, which is the author's and is trusted as\-is. One of:

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+.B none
+escapes nothing: Markdown, AsciiDoc and plain text have no fixed
+metacharacter set, so escaping them here would produce worse output than
+leaving them alone.
+.PP
+An extension
+.B colitur
+does not recognise is a hard error naming the six flavours above; it is
+.I never
+a silent fallback to
+.BR none .
+Guessing the flavour wrong produces output that looks fine right up until
+the metacharacters it silently failed to escape show up in a rendered
+document.
