-TODO: Registering gems on [Tilt](https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt) enabling Sprockets to find them.
+As Sprockets uses [Tilt](https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt) as a generic
+interface to different templating engines, your gem should just
+implement the Tilt template protocol. Normally, you would subclass
+`Tilt::Template` and reimplement `evaluate` method to return final
+output. Template source is stored at `@code`. Have a look at
+[`Tilt::Template`](https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt/blob/master/lib/tilt/template.rb)
+sources to learn more.
+
+```ruby
+module BangBang
+  class Template < ::Tilt::Template
+    # Adds a "!" to original template.
+    def evaluate(scope, locals, &block)
+      "#{@code}!"
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Now that you have a `Template` class, it's time to associate it with an
+extenstion for template files:
+
+```ruby
+Sprockets.register_engine '.bang', BangBang::Template
+```
