The actual specifics of the template system we are still building...
however, in its current form it is very basic and easy to use --along the
lines of Smarty. It is simplified because there is no logic or plugins to
load

////
// BEGIN example usage (example only)
////
<?php

// READ the template files to be used into memory
$tpl = new rendition(array(
    MASTER => 'master1.tpl',
    HEADER => 'header.tpl',
    FOOTER => 'footer.tpl'
));


// DEFINE the template holder tags, PROCESS templates
$tpl->process(HEADER, array(
    TIME     => GetUserTime(),
    BANNERS  => pnBannerDisplay()
));

$tpl->process(FOOTER, array(
    FOOTMSG     => $footmessage
));
// Even straight HTML templates must be processed
$tpl->process(MASTER);


// We can now EMBED templates into other templates
$tpl->embed(HEADER, MASTER); // Embeds header template into the master
$tpl->embed(FOOTER, MASTER);


// Render the templates
$tpl->render();

?>
////
// END sample usage
////


This is pretty much it for now, it is a barebones system that we can build
on and add to as needed. Any input in this regards would be most helpful
(additonal needs or ideas). Template files will use holders like this:
[HOLDER], [BANNERS], [FOOTMSG], etc...

Yes, I do like the jpcache system --I am looking at version 2 (I really need
to look at Version 1, to check differences). I like the db cache idea to
eliminate the security risk involved with a file cache syste, however it
will still be available as an option. I am adapting it to our needs and for
easy API usage.
