Hi.

My main goal with a template systeme is that I want the person using it to 
have zero knowledge in programming. I want anybody knwoing HTML to 
copy/paste a html page to the template system and get it dynamic in a minute.

What's a point in separating the code from the look of the site if it is to 
make this look look like code too ? This restricts the person changing it 
to the one understanding XML or at least programming.
