 5 Template Writing
 ******************
 
 ‘srecode-template-mode’ is the major mode used for designing new
 templates.  SRecode files (Extension ‘.srt’) are made up of variable
 settings and template declarations.
 
    Here is an overview of the terminology you will need for the next few
 sections:

      A file with a ‘.srt’ extension which contains settings, variables,
      and templates.

      with some other value.
