+Tags can also be nested to address object and array members in the context.

 ### Conditional Sections
 Conditional sections begin with `{{#condition}}` and end with `{{/condition}}`. When `condition` evaluates to true, the section is rendered, otherwise the hole block will output nothing at all. `condition` may be a function returning true/false or a simple boolean.
