Guide To Sheet Templating with Handlebars

Most of this series is about how to use Handelbars to build your HTML file. This can streamline your code writing, and has a huge advantage that you can mix and match handlebars with raw HTML, so you can start building your sheet before you know anything about Handlebars and just add it as you learn. This fits the learn-as-you-go philosophy of Roll20 very well.
