Consider tera templating support

tmpfs commented 3 years ago

According to some benchmarks the tera templating engine is substantially faster than handlebars.

Consider supporting tera as an alternative templating engine. The pros are that it could be faster and it would help people that want to migrate from Zola and are familiar with the Jinja2 style syntax however it would make the page editor part of the UI substantially more complicated as we would need to deal with two different template languages.

It would also complicate the documentation and various runtime dependencies such as the feed templates etc etc.
