Their is nothing at all wrong with re-inventing the wheel but where
templating engines are concerned I dont see anyone coming up with new
ideas that has not already been thought up by some tom, dick or harry,
plus with all the 1000's of engines already created their is bound to be
one that suits everyones requirements.


My suggestion could save hours, weeks or maybe even months of
