    for the template files. The default is \".tpl\".

-   `force` is an optional boolean which controls if only modified
    (false) or all (true) templates shall be compiled. The default is
    \"false\".

-   `timelimit` is an optional integer to set a runtime limit in seconds
    for the compilation process. The default is no limit.

-   `maxerror` is an optional integer to set an error limit. If more
    templates failed to compile the function will be aborted. The
    default is no limit.

> If you are using template inheritance this function will create
> compiled files of parent templates which will never be used.
