I looked at these briefly a couple of years ago but never really made great use of them. I also remember seeing an article in LinuxFormat about them which can be found at:
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/archives/LXF35.tut_php.pdf My understanding is that they are mainly intended for use in development areas where you get both programmers and designers working closely together. My limited experience of designers is that they get petrified at the sight of anything that looks like code nad personally I get horribly confused when I see some of those fiendishly complicated interfaces for graphic design applications. In theory templates might offer a way of bridging this chasm - though I have my doubts.

This template thing is driving my nuts. I though maybe when I read more articles things will clear up; however, things got even worse. Every article writer has a different idea. Can anyone explain to me what are Templates for? What are the advantages of using them? If I use a third party template, will my site have a different look or is it only a parser that will take my designed template and data and combine them.
