What does evalValue do?

I've looked at the code but I still can't figure out what Liquid.evalValue() does.

Liquid.evalValue() calls the parser and render for a Liquid output (which is delimited by {{ and }}). For example, it transforms a string like "xx" | capitalize to XX. Hope these test cases make it clear for you: https://github.com/harttle/liquidjs/blob/master/test/render.js#L53-L65

It should have been named to evalOutput.

Thanks for the explanation and for pointing me to tests, I'll take a look there.
