Dexy Filter Reference

Here you will find reference pages for each of the built-in dexy filters. Filters are what let dexy run code, transform text, and wrap libraries and tools so you can easily and reproducibly create any kind of document.

If you have worked through the getting started tutorial, then you are already familiar with some of these filters like pyg and jinja.

You can browse through the alphabetical list or browse filters by tag (not all filters are tagged yet, so the alphabetical list is more reliable).
