+title: More on compilers: load, and templates
+author: Jasper Van der Jeugt

+
+Loading items
+-------------
+
+The compiler Monad is a complex beast, but this is nicely hidden for the user of
+the Hakyll library.
+
+Suppose that you're generating `index.html` which shows your latest brilliant
+blogpost. This requires `posts/foo.markdown` to be generated *before*
+`index.html` (so we don't have to generate it twice). But you don't have to care
+about all of that: Hakyll will sort this out this out for you automatically!
+
+Let's see some quick examples. We can load a specific item:
+
+```haskell
+load "posts/foo.markdown" :: Compiler (Item String)
+```
+
+Or a whole bunch of them:
+
+```haskell
+loadAll "posts/*" :: Compiler [Item String]
+```
+
+Sometimes you just want the *contents* and not the `Item`:
+
+```haskell
+loadBody "posts/foo.markdown" :: Compiler String
+```
+
+This is all useful if we want to use Hakyll's templating system.
+
