+This is a very simple website templating engine based on markdown and Lua,
+written by Tuomo Valkonen &lt;<tuomov@iki.fi>&gt;
+
+It is not particularly supported or maintained; it was created back in 2009
+to build [my own website](http://tuomov.iki.fi/). The engine is still use
+for that purpose. I decided to simply put the code online now in 2017 after
+having had to spend some time to convert it to Lua 5.3 form which the
+module() function had been removed.
+
+Aside from the included compat_env.lua and the ltp engine (which is has not
+updated to Lua 5.3, and requires on the compat_env module), the code is in
+the public domain.
