You can visit ##link_to_my_homepage## if you want.
This document shows how well work the variables substitution method (the _template() method).
If you look at the source of this document, you will see that the 'some_text' variable wasn't replaced ##some_text## with anything but instead, put in a comment. That's because the calling program didn't pass this variable to the _template() method.
Just below a variable is incuded in a comment but when it is replaced it will be put out of the comment, just like in the Whiz package from Neale Pickett at the LANL:
Bye.
