Let's say I throughout my site use the following whenever I need a nicelooking headline: <table width="100%" border=1 bgcolor="black" cellpadding=4> <tr><td> <font color=white size=2> This is a headline </font> </td></tr> </table> While I could just type in the whole thing every time, it would be so much easier for me to just write { include niceheadline.tpl ('headline' => 'This is a headline') } instead. Optimally I could even write { include niceheadline.tpl ('headline' => '{$dynamic_headline}') } _if_ my headlines came from some logic (in php). I know of quite a few web-designers who use php only to be able to do this in a non-template fashion, that is: function niceheader($headline) { print "....$headline...."; } and then throughout the .php3 pages: <?php print niceheader('This is a headline'); ?> just to save some typing and be able to change the look throughout the site at the snap of your fingers. This is actually like a stylesheet thing that can do much more than your average CSS. But it would be quite natural to use templates for this..
