What is handlebars? #123

Basically, the first thing you should explain in your ReadMe is what handlebars is and why I want to use it. Don't force people to infer what it does from its usage. Explain its beneifts up front.

Is handlebars a templating engine? Does it do more than just that? Too many github repos don't describe what they do.

Further investigation reveals that this just allows you to use hanlebars.js with require.js . Give a link to handlebars.js furcrisake.

Hopefully this advice is helpful.

Presumably people have come here looking for handlebars and requirejs integration. I'm not sure that the onus is on the author of this plugin to describe what both of those are.

A link is all that's necessary. Yes the onus is on the author to properly describe the project.

is an adequate description as far as I am concerned. This plugin is irrelevant unless you know what Handlebars and RequireJS are. If not:
