-## Using a template
-
-Using a template works like this:
-
-	\[[template id=note text="""Here is the text to insert into my note."""]]
-
-This fills out the [[note]] template, filling in the `text` field with
-the specified value, and inserts the result into the page.
-
-A value can include any markup that would be allowed in the wiki page
-outside the template. Triple-quoting the value even allows quotes to be
-included in it. Combined with multi-line quoted values, this allows for
-large chunks of marked up text to be embedded into a template:
-
-        \[[template id=foo name="Sally" color="green" age=8 notes="""
-        * \[[Charley]]'s sister.
-        * "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up."
-        * Really 8 and a half.
-        """]]

-## Creating a template
-
-To create a template, simply add a template directive to a page, and page will
-provide a link that can be used to create the template. The template is a
-regular wiki page, located in the `templates/` directory.
-
-The template uses the syntax used by the [[cpan HTML::Template]] perl
-module, which allows for some fairly complex things to be done. Consult its
-documentation for the full syntax, but all you really need to know are a
-few things:
-
-* To insert the value of a variable, use `<TMPL_VAR variable>`.
-* To make a block of text conditional on a variable being set use
-  `<TMPL_IF NAME="variable">text</TMPL_IF>`.
-* To use one block of text if a variable is set and a second if it's not,
-  use `<TMPL_IF NAME="variable">text<TMPL_ELSE>other text</TMPL_IF>`
-
-Here's a sample template:
-
-        <span class="infobox">
-        Name: <TMPL_VAR name><br />
-        Age: <TMPL_VAR age><br />
-        <TMPL_IF NAME="color">
-        Favorite color: <TMPL_VAR color><br />
-        <TMPL_ELSE>
-        No favorite color.<br />
-        </TMPL_IF>
-        <TMPL_IF NAME="notes">
-        <hr />
-        <TMPL_VAR notes>
-        </TMPL_IF>
-        </span>
-
-The filled out template will be formatted the same as the rest of the page
-that contains it, so you can include WikiLinks and all other forms of wiki
-markup in the template. Note though that such WikiLinks will not show up as
-backlinks to the page that uses the template.
