	router.GET("/article", func(c *gin.Context) {
		c.HTML(200, "article.html", gin.H{
			"title": "Html5 Article Engine",
		})
	})

	router.Run(":8080")
}

func loadTemplates(templatesDir string) multitemplate.Renderer {
	r := multitemplate.NewRenderer()

	layouts, err := filepath.Glob(templatesDir + "/layouts/*.html")

		panic(err.Error())
	}

	includes, err := filepath.Glob(templatesDir + "/includes/*.html")

	for _, include := range includes {

		copy(layoutCopy, layouts)
		files := append(layoutCopy, include)
		r.AddFromFiles(filepath.Base(include), files...)
	}
