The function is also used to get the contents which is marked with an 
open and close marker. Most routines only replace the contents if 
getSubpart() returns something that doesn't evaluate to false.
Example: you have an HTML template with: <div class="menu"></div>. 
Automaketemplate will simply not use this div at all, simply because it 
has no contents.
The same construction can be found in tslib_content::TEMPLATE(), 
template::getDocHeaderButtons() and quite a few extensions.
