Working with templates

In NextPage terrminology a template is (opposite to an insertfile) a file into which the source file is inserted: a wrapper around the source.

Templates were originally assigned a dominant place in the design of NextPage, based in the idea that pages within a website often have like 75% of their characteristics in common, making them fit the template principle very well.
Eventually, you'll have to decide yourself whether or not you think your sites should be template based. The functionality is there - but you dont have to use it.

To apply a template file to a group, there are 2 things you need to do:
s Set the templatePath directive to the path of the template file
s Insert the <<SOURCE>> tag into the temlplate file, at the place where you want the source to be inserted.
