+!Warnung: dieses Pythonscript ist ein ein riesen Haufen Stinkescheisse!
+Ich hab mir damit nur laestige Schreibarbeit fuer die Erstellung einer
+Webseite gespart. Ich wollte schon immer mal ein eigenes
+Templatesystem schreiben 8] 
+
+
+Die Funktionsweise ist recht einfach und schnell eingaenglich anhand
+eines Beispiels: (Das Beispiel laeuft nur, wenn es keine Verzeichnisse ausser den
+erwaehnten gibt. Verzeichnisse wie ".svn" wirken z.B. aeusserst stoerend.)
+
+* in "gerippe.tmpl" kommen Platzhalter z.B. "<!-- $foo$ -->" 
+	* ins Verz. "placeholder" kommen Dateien mit gleichem Namen "foo", wie der Platzhalter
+	* der Inhalt der Datei "foo" wird spaeter den gleichnamigen Platzhalter ersetzen
+	* diese Ersetzungen finden fuer alle html Dateien statt, eignen sich also nur fuer Inhalte, die in jeder .html gleich sind
+
+* ins Verz. "content" kommt jeweils ein Unterverzeichnis z.B. "bar"
+	* daraus wird spaeter "bar.html"
+	* Grundlage fuer "bar.html" bilden gerippe.tmpl + placeholder
+	* im Verz. "bar" werden Dateien abgelegt, die nach Nummern benannt werden
+	* diese Dateien bilden spaeter einen Eintrag, im Content der jeweiligen html Datei
+	* die Nummerierung legt die Reihenfolge innerhalb der html Datei fest (1 ist der erste Eintrag)
+
+
+*
