Actually the HTML part is not a problem, since most of the stuff is based on
<div> containers with the usual suspects <hx> <p> <ul> <li> <img> <a> and
maybe <strong> and <em>, some <table> ...

The rest is done via CSS: Background images, positioning and the rest of the
layout.
Just take a look at CSS zen garden to see that it's usually not about HTML
when it comes to templates.

There is only one set of extensions we are using instead of FCEs: ICE pack

Based on IRRE you can easily create simple or very complex elements with it,
add dynamic CSS, frames, rounded corners and other stuff via ICE flavors,
select from different layout variants including a table based one especially
for HTML-Newsletters and even have nested ICE Boxes to get groups of smaller
chunks. http://ice.4any1.de

You can even do completely graphical stuff like that with it:

But this is getting even more OT than the original thread now ;-)
Feel free to contact me via PM if you want to know more :-)
