I have used html templates before in the context of CMS systems which
already had the templating engines in place and would automatically replace
the templates with the substitutions. However, that's not really what I
need. I create html 'fragments' in Leo which are then copy/pasted into
other online tools (such as an LMS or even a CMS) that typically have an
html inline editor. I hate using the WYSIWYG editor, so I switch to source
mode and paste the fragment copied from Leo. It works quite well, actually.
In that scenario, these suggested templating engines would require
additional work to process to the output fragment. That's seriously
overkill for what I'm doing.
