okay, here is an example:
We have a collection of pages, each contains a record for a contact.
Each may contain items like
Name: Joe
Surname: Miller
Group: Development
Tel: 01234567
These can be accessed as PTVs.
But we want to access them via display templates.
Here is one:
[[#default]]
*'''{$$Name} {$$Surname}''' ''{$$Group}'' {$$Tel}
[[#defaultend]]
The template is used by the extraction routine,
which could be a pagelist directive using a special template with
(:include Template#default parameters...:)
or a page with a series of (:include ...:) directives
or some other mechanism which calls FmtTemplateVars to do the
variable replacements on the template text.
Now {$$Name} is not replaced by 'Joe', but by the page name.
