+If you want to call a closure which is a field, you'll need to follow Rust's
+syntax by surrounding the call with parens:

+## Calling functions
+
+If you only provide a function name, `rinja` will assume it's a method. If
+you want to call a method, you will need to use a path instead:
+
+```jinja
+{# This is the equivalent of `self.method()`. #}
+{{ method() }}
+{# This is the equivalent of `self::function()`, which will call the
+`function` function from the current module. #}
