A template is really simple.

You create your page, but you use a tag <%tag_name%> for replaceable data.

For instance, to put a header on each page, that is the same (or even different in some ways), you'd set your template page:

<%include header.txt%>

The tag above would be replaced by the contents of the file header.txt in the default templates directory.

Really easy to edit one header.txt file than 10,000 hard-coded pages on a site!

Same with a file like "navi_bar.txt"

You can include that, then change the navigation links by editing one file, not every page.

<% %> marks the begin/end of a tag.

Very, very easy to use, to maintain, and easier than HTML or perl :)
