# June 17, 2022 - How to use Jinja in Rewst

This call discusses what Jinja is, how to use it and some examples of how it can be used within Rewst to manipulate and transform your data, as well as filters that are implemented within the platform such as " | upper" and "| random"

A few of these examples are below

:::info {{ output }}

* "{{ }}" is used to output whatever is inside.\
  ::: :::info
* "{% %}

" is used when setting a variable, no output here. ::: :::info {# Comment #}

* "{# #}" can be used to add comments into the code. ::: :::info {{- output -}}
* "{{- -}}" removes any whitepsacing around the output. :::

If you're not sure what these are, make sure you watch the video in this recording!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rewst.help/updates/roc-open-mics/roc-open-mics-north-america/2022-roc-open-mics/june-17th-2022-how-to-use-jinja-in-rewst.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
