Mustache Templates with Dot Notation

README.md

Mustache and cross referrencing the context

Sometimes it is useful to have distinct pointers to an element in a different part of the context but don't want to start a new section. In this case the dot notation is your friend.

The dot-notation allows to reference a sub entries that are reachable without traversing a list.

This GIST has been tested with javascript mustache.
