 Public: Template parser function.  Writes templates to stdout.

+* $0 - Name of the mo file, used for getting the help message.
-* --fail-not-set - Fail upon expansion of an unset variable.  Default behavior is to silently ignore and expand into empty string.
+* --allow-function-arguments - Permit functions in templates to be called with additional arguments. This puts template data directly in to the path of an eval statement. Use with caution. Not listed in the help because it only makes sense when mo is sourced.
-* --false        - Treat "false" as an empty value.  You may set the MO_FALSE_IS_EMPTY environment variable instead to a non-empty value to enable this behavior.
+* --fail-not-set - (`-u`) Fail upon expansion of an unset variable.  Default behavior is to silently ignore and expand into empty string.
-* --help         - Display a help message.
+* --false - (`-e`) Treat "false" as an empty value.  You may set the MO_FALSE_IS_EMPTY environment variable instead to a non-empty value to enable this behavior.
-* --source=FILE  - Source a file into the environment before processint template files.
+* --help - (`-h)` Display a help message.
-* --             - Used to indicate the end of options.  You may optionally use this when filenames may start with two hyphens.
+* --source=FILE - (`-s=FILE`) Source a file into the environment before processing template files.
-* $@             - Filenames to parse.
+* --path=PATH - (`-p=PATH`) Colon-separated list of paths to search for templates. They are relative to where `mo` was executed.
+* --  - Used to indicate the end of options.  You may use this when filenames start with hyphens.
+* $@ - Filenames to parse.
 
 Mo uses the following environment variables:
 
-* MO_FAIL_ON_UNSET    - When set to a non-empty value, expansion of an unset env variable will be aborted with an error.
+* MO_ALLOW_FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS - When set to a non-empty value, this allows functions referenced in templates to receive additional options and arguments. This puts the content from the template directly into an eval statement. Use with extreme care.
-* MO_FALSE_IS_EMPTY   - When set to a non-empty value, the string "false" will be treated as an empty value for the purposes of conditionals.
+
+* MO_FAIL_ON_UNSET - When set to a non-empty value, expansion of an unset env variable will be aborted with an error.
+
+* MO_FALSE_IS_EMPTY - When set to a non-empty value, the string "false" will be treated as an empty value for the purposes of conditionals.
+
 * MO_ORIGINAL_COMMAND - Used to find the `mo` program in order to generate a help message.
 
-Returns nothing.
+* MO_SEARCH_PATH - Colon-separated list of folders to search for templates. They are relative to where `mo` was executed.
+
+Returns true (0) when there are no errors. Sometimes returns (1) when there are errors and sometimes those errors are consumed. It greatly depends on the error and your options.
