+# Go Text Template Engine
+
+## About
+
+In various plugins, the go based text/template engine is used. More information about this language can be found [here](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template).
+
+## Functions
+
+In addition to the built in functions as described [here](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template#hdr-Functions), we also include a set of functions from the SPRIG library.
+
+The list of SPRIG functions is available [here](https://github.com/spiffe/spire/blob/main/pkg/common/agentpathtemplate/template.go#L11).
+
+The functions behavior can be found in the SPRIG documentation [here](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/).
