 Often you'll want more control over the formatting of your output than simply
 printing space-separated values.  There are two ways to format your output; the
 first way is to do all the string handling yourself; using string slicing and
 concatenation operations you can create any layout you can imagine.  The
-standard module :mod:`string` contains some useful operations for padding
+string types have some methods that perform useful operations for padding
 strings to a given column width; these will be discussed shortly.  The second
 way is to use the :meth:`str.format` method.
 
+The :mod:`string` module contains a :class:`~string.Template` class which offers
+yet another way to substitute values into strings.

 One question remains, of course: how do you convert values to strings? Luckily,
 Python has ways to convert any value to a string: pass it to the :func:`repr`
 or :func:`str` functions.
