[Tsheetx-developers] How does the template stuff work?

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

Hey Mark,

I want to start working on actually using the language stuff, but I thought
it might be important to understand how the template stuff works.  I found
where things get converted from tags into other output
(include/templateparser/templateparser.class.php and
include/templateparser/tags/*), but I've thus far this morning been unable
to discover where and how the tags are defined. I think there is some magic
going on in the template.datastructure.class.php, but I'm unable to tie that
stuff to anything concrete.
