Research direction

Start in the README and inspect the existing template-renderer usage documented there. Check the C++ API to determine how variables are passed and which of std::map, third-party JSON types, QString, and QVariant/QVariantMap are supported. Add a clear example and document the supported options or extension path; done means a reader can follow the example to bind C++ values.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There's lot's of attention to filters, control statements, etc, but no example how do you bind (pass) C++ values into template renderer.

Does it take std::map ? Third party json types? Can I make it work (accept) QString or QVariant/QVarianMap with some extension?
