-Can I write my own jinja2 test, filter and/or globals
+
+Well, can I nick some existing functions as filters, tests? Or create a global from another library?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Sure, you can use the same '-e' syntax:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ moban -e jinja2=filter:module.path.filter_function \
+              jinja2=test:module.path.test_function \
+              jinja2=global:identifier=module.path.variable
+
+In this case, you would have to include the external library in your own requirements.txt
+
+Here is an example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ moban -e jinja2=filter:moban.externals.file_system.url_join \
+     jinja2=test:moban.externals.file_system.exists \
+     jinja2=global:description=moban.constants.PROGRAM_DESCRIPTION \
+     -t "{{ 'a'|url_join('b')}} {{'b' is exists}}"
+
+
+Can I write my own jinja2 test, filter and/or globals?
