Hi Mark,

I am no expert on templates, but usually API function (method) returns
some value. I will give you an example. Breadcrumbs function works like
this:

$breadcrumbs = breadcrumbs($cat_id);

//where $cat_id is category id for which you want to create breadcrumbs
//navigation.

$breadcrumbs will always return an array (even if you are at the root
parent_id = 0) This array will have following information for every
array member:

$breadcrumbs[]['cat_id'] - category id (for further navigation)

$breadcrumbs[]['cat_name'] - category name to display

How you, as a template designer use this information, is up to you! That
is why I call these functions API. They do not provide ready to display
output. On the other hand, we can create sub-templates (like ready to
insert snippets of ready to display code) that you can call from another
template like [-$BREADCRUMBS-VERTICAL-] to display breadcrumbs in a
vertical fashion.

But, I am not developing templating for envo (you can thank me for that
later :)), so, I can't guarantee that you will have sub-templates at all
:).

Best Regards,

ak
