'''
This module is the B{Template Macro} module. It preprocesses a web 
template in which variables and blocks are contained. This package 
plays an important role as an explicit boundary between web template 
designing and script implementation.

@note: A block can be defined with block comment:
C{<!-- block }M{q}C{ start -->}
M{c}
C{<!-- block }M{q}C{ end -->},
where M{q} is the block name and M{c} is the content of this block.

@note: It should be noted that each subblock symbol is necessary to 
differ from its superblock's name. This is owing to the block pattern.
