[pLog-general] why split html files into pieces?

[Oscar Renalias]

well you certainly can use exactly one file without including any 
other .template resources into it if you want. The fact that the default 
package chose to do so doesn't mean that template authors cannot do it.

The idea is that when you have 6 .template files which all use the same header, 
footer, stylesheet, etc, you have two choices: copy the *same* html markup in 
all 6 files or on the other hand, separate those common parts (header and 
footer are the most common ones) and use smarty's {include...} for 
automatically loading them every time the whole template is rendered.

If we were talkinga about OOP, we would say "code reusability"... You don't 
copy+paste the same class if you need it more than once in different places, 
right? Well, this is the same idea :)
