A few sites in the world don't use any templating at all (pure TS). A 
very small percentage uses manually applied markers in a template. Most 
of the sites use either automaketemplate or TemplaVoilà.

Templating seems to be a very basic need for making websites. The 
extension manuals of both automaketemplate and TemplaVoilà contain very 
little information about best practises for templating in either system.

A tutorial is very much needed by many people (especially beginners). It 
would be great if MTB/FTB would be rewritten into a tutorial (multiple 
parts if necessary) which covers the most frequently used ways to 
integrate templates in a site. The template of the Introduction Package 
is the perfect candidate for such a tutorial.
Beginners will probably be familiar with the way the result looks and 
the template is a lot more modern when it comes to HTML structure than 
the one currently used in MTB/FTB.
