+#### Filters
+
+Filters allow you to transform the values of variables. For example, they look like:
+
+```html+django
+{{ variable|uppercase }}
+```
+
+##### Capitalize
+
+The capitalize filter allows you to capitalize a string.
+For example, `stencil` to `Stencil`.
+
+```html+django
+{{ "stencil"|capitalize }}
+```
+
+##### Uppercase
+
+The uppercase filter allows you to transform a string to uppercase.
+For example, `Stencil` to `STENCIL`.
+
+```html+django
+{{ "Stencil"|uppercase }}
+```
+
+##### Lowercase
+
+The uppercase filter allows you to transform a string to lowercase.
+For example, `Stencil` to `stencil`.
+
+```html+django
+{{ "Stencil"|lowercase }}
+```
+
+#### Registering custom filters
+
+```
+template.parser.registerFilter("double") { value in
+  if let value = value as? Int {
+    return value * 2
+  }
+
+  return value
+}
+```
