+Flight provides some basic templating functionality by default. To display a view template call the `render` method with the name of the template file and optional template data:
+
+    Flight::render('hello.php', array('name' => 'Bob'));
+
+The template data you pass in is automatically injected into the template and can be reference like a local variable. Template files are simply PHP files. If the content of the `hello.php` template file is:
+
+    Hello, '<?php echo $name; ?>'!
+
+The output would be:
+
+    Hello, Bob!
+
+You can also manually set view variables by using the set method:
+
+    Flight::view()->set('name', 'Bob');
+
+The variable `name` is now available across all your views. So you can simply do:
+
+    Flight::render('hello');
+
+Note that when specifying the name of the template in the render method, you can leave out the .php extension.
+
+By default Flight will look for a `views` directory for template files. You can set an alternate path for your templates by setting the following config:
+
+    Flight::set('flight.views.path', '/path/to/views');
