When you create a new file with Emacs, package Template supplies an initial
buffer content via a template: a file with normal text and expansion
forms. There is a menu to easily create such templates. You can also use new
commands to decorate comments and update the buffer contents.

The main difference between Template and other similar packages is that you
can define very flexible templates without having to learn Lisp or changing
your Emacs init file. This package does not help Lisp programmers to define
complex macros.
