<p>This collection of pages is designed to fully demonstrate how you'd use Templer, to generate a website.</p>
<p>A templer site is created by a collection of input files, and a layout file.</p>
<p>The general course of processing involves:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reading each input page.</li>
<li>Expanding variables/content.</li>
<li>Inserting the rendered content into the layout.</li>
</ul>
<p>A site itself then consists of a series of <a href="page.html">input pages</a> (i.e. your content) and at least <a href="layout.html">one layout</a>.  An input page might well decide to use a different layout which is just fine.</p>
