Detailed Description

The global templates are those which renders the whole document starting from <html> to </html>, they stays in the theme folder and are called by the template factory basing upon url request and user authentication.

The global templates are file with extension '.tpl'. Are written in html with some special tags parsed by the template engine.
Special tags are rounded by {} parenthesis. Jeff supports only some tags by now, but they can be easily extended to perform more actions.
In particular Jeff base has two kinds of special tags:

Variable tags are tags like {JAVASCRIPT} or {TITLE}. When the template engine parses the template file they are replaced by some values or functions.
For example the tag {JAVASCRIPT} will be replaced with the inclusions of javascript files stored in the registry->js properties.
The tag {TITLE} will be replaced with the value of the registry->title property, that is why it's possible to set the application title depending on the module called by url.
This variables are parsed in the parseVariables method of the template class (called by the public method parse).
Module's methods inclusion tags are tags used to insert module methods generated content inside the template. For example:
{module:page method:view params:credits}
when the template is parsed this tag is replaced by what returns the view method of the page module passing it the parameter 'credits', it's possible to pass also more parameters in the same string separating them by a character and then implement the parameters separation in the method called. This tags are parsed in the template::parseModules method (called by the public method parse).
