    By templating features, I was refering to a way to separate the html
and code into separate files, one for the html with tags indicating where
to substitute values and one for the code.  This is primarily so that
the web designers/graphic artists can fiddle around with the look and feel
without having to know php or python.  Likewise, the developers can write
the code without having to worry about the appearance.
