See for example: www.template-toolkit.org

You create pseudo-HTML pages which have specialised code/markup which
gets replaced on the fly.

E.g. each page has:

[ %HEADER% ]

Which gets replaced by the file header.html.tmpl (assuming you defined
HEADER to be that file somewhere).

Just an example I created, might not match what template-toolkit does.
