First, create your template:
```html
<code><pre>
<html>
<body>
This is my template. My favorite food is {{FOOD}}.
</body>
</html>
```
</pre></code>
Import the required classes:
```java
<code><pre>
import com.binarythought.picotemplate.Template;
import com.binarythought.picotemplate.TemplateDictionary;
```
</pre></code>
Create your template and template dictionary:
```java
<code><pre>
Template template = new Template(new File("mytemplate.tpl"));
TemplateDictionary dict = new TemplateDictionary();
```
</pre></code>
Assign a value to the "food" variable (Unassigned variables are not shown):
```java
<code><pre>
dict.put("food", "cookies");
```
</pre></code>
And parse your template:
```java
<code><pre>
String result = template.parse(dict);
```
</pre></code>
And the result:
```html
<code><pre>
<html>
<body>
This is my template. My favorite food is cookies.
</body>
</html>
```

picotemplate can selectively show areas of static content, called "sections".
It can also loop over these sections using child dictionaries. Consider the
following example:
```html
<code><pre>
<html>
<body>
{{FAVORITE_SHOW}} is probably my favorite show.

Create your template and template dictionary as usual:
```java
<code><pre>
Template template = new Template(new File("mytemplate.tpl"));
TemplateDictionary dict = new TemplateDictionary();
```
</pre></code>
Define our favorite show:
```java
<code><pre>
dict.put("favorite_show", "Happy Days");
```
</pre></code>
Now show the section called "goodshows" (Sections are by default hidden, and
must be explicitly told to be shown):
```java
<code><pre>
dict.show("goodshows");
```
</pre></code>
And add some shows for it to loop over:
```java
<code><pre>
TemplateDictionary child1 = dict.createChild("goodshows");
child1.put("show", "M.A.S.H");
TemplateDictionary child2 = dict.createChild("goodshows");
child2.put("show", "A-Team");
```
