+Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through
+templates. You can either pass in a template from the command
+line, via the --template option, or select an existing
+template-style (--style).
+
+You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log,
+outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, heads and glog.
+
+Four styles are packaged with Mercurial: default (the style used
+when no explicit preference is passed), compact, changelog,
+and xml.
+Usage::
+
+ $ hg log -r1 --style changelog
+
+A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable
+expansion::
+
+ $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n"
+ b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746
+
+Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of
+keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These
+keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command:
+
+:author: String. The unmodified author of the changeset.
+
+:branches: List of strings. The name of the branch on which the
+ changeset was committed. Will be empty if the branch name was
+ default.
+
+:children: List of strings. The children of the changeset.
+
+:date: Date information. The date when the changeset was committed.
+
+:desc: String. The text of the changeset description.
+
+:diffstat: String. Statistics of changes with the following format:
+ "modified files: +added/-removed lines"
+
+:files: List of strings. All files modified, added, or removed by this
+ changeset.
+
+:file_adds: List of strings. Files added by this changeset.
+
+:file_copies: List of strings. Files copied in this changeset with
+ their sources.
+
+:file_copies_switch: List of strings. Like "file_copies" but displayed
+ only if the --copied switch is set.
+
+:file_mods: List of strings. Files modified by this changeset.
+
+:file_dels: List of strings. Files removed by this changeset.
+
+:node: String. The changeset identification hash, as a 40 hexadecimal
+ digit string.
+
+:parents: List of strings. The parents of the changeset.
+
+:rev: Integer. The repository-local changeset revision number.
+
+:tags: List of strings. Any tags associated with the changeset.
+
+:latesttag: String. Most recent global tag in the ancestors of this
+ changeset.
+
+:latesttagdistance: Integer. Longest path to the latest tag.
+
+The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you
+want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process
+it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input
+variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're
+applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable.
+You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output::
+
+ $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n"
+ 2008-08-21 18:22 +0000
+
+List of filters:
+
+:addbreaks: Any text. Add an XHTML "<br />" tag before the end of
+ every line except the last.
+
+:age: Date. Returns a human-readable date/time difference between the
+ given date/time and the current date/time.
+
+:basename: Any text. Treats the text as a path, and returns the last
+ component of the path after splitting by the path separator
+ (ignoring trailing separators). For example, "foo/bar/baz" becomes
+ "baz" and "foo/bar//" becomes "bar".
+
+:stripdir: Treat the text as path and strip a directory level, if
+ possible. For example, "foo" and "foo/bar" becomes "foo".
+
+:date: Date. Returns a date in a Unix date format, including the
+ timezone: "Mon Sep 04 15:13:13 2006 0700".
+
+:domain: Any text. Finds the first string that looks like an email
+ address, and extracts just the domain component. Example: ``User
+ <user@example.com>`` becomes ``example.com``.
+
+:email: Any text. Extracts the first string that looks like an email
+ address. Example: ``User <user@example.com>`` becomes
+ ``user@example.com``.

+
+:nonempty: Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.
+
+:hgdate: Date. Returns the date as a pair of numbers: "1157407993

+ filter.

+ XML entities.

+ specified in RFC 3339: "2009-08-18T13:00:13+02:00".
