NAME

MsOffice::Word::Template::Engine -- abstract class for template engines

DESCRIPTION

This abstract class encapsulates functionalities common to all templating engines. Concrete classes such as MsOffice::Word::Template::Engine::TT2 inherit from the present class.

Templating engines encapsulate internal implementation algorithms; they are not meant to be called from external clients. Methods documented below are just to explain the internal architecture.
