The {{ }} brackets are placeholders for AppML data.
CSS
body {
font: 14px Verdana, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
color: #996600;
}
table {
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
border: 1px solid grey;

AppML Explained:
<script src="http://www.w3ii.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"> adds AppML to your page.
appml-data="customers.js" connects AppML data (customers.js) to an HTML element (<table>).
In this case we have used a JSON file: customers.js
appml-repeat="records" repeats an HTML element (<tr>) for each item (records) in a data object.
The {{ }} brackets are placeholders for AppML data.
