/*
 * Change log since version 7.2c
 *
 * Bug fixes to version 7.2c compiled by Richard Archer <rha@juggernaut.com.au>:
 * (credits given to first person to post a diff to phplib mailing list)
 *
 * Normalised all comments and whitespace (rha)
 * replaced "$handle" with "$varname" and "$h" with "$v" throughout (from phplib-devel)
 * added braces around all one-line if statements in: get_undefined, loadfile and halt (rha)
 * set_var was missing two sets of braces (rha)
 * added a couple of "return true" statements (rha)
 * set_unknowns had "keep" as default instead of "remove" (from phplib-devel)
 * set_file failed to check for empty strings if passed an array of filenames (phplib-devel)
 * remove @ from call to preg_replace in subst -- report errors if there are any (NickM)
 * set_block unnecessarily required a newline in the template file (Marc Tardif)
 * pparse now calls this->finish to replace undefined vars (Layne Weathers)
 * get_var now checks for unset varnames (NickM & rha)
 * get_var when passed an array used the array key instead of the value (rha)
 * get_vars now uses a call to get_var rather than this->varvals to prevent undefined var warning (rha)
 * in finish, the replacement string referenced an unset variable (rha)
 * loadfile would try to load a file if the varval had been set to "" (rha)
 * in get_undefined, only match non-whitespace in variable tags as in finish (Layne Weathers & rha)
 * more elegant fix to the problem of subst stripping '$n', '\n' and '\\' strings (rha)
 *
 *
 * Changes in functionality which go beyond bug fixes:
 *
 * changed debug handling so set, get and internals can be tracked separately (rha)
 * added debug statements throughout to track most function calls (rha)
 * debug output contained raw HTML -- is now escaped with htmlentities (rha)
 * Alter regex in set_block to remove more whitespace around BEGIN/END tags to improve HTML layout (rha)
 * Add "append" option to set_var, works just like append in parse (dale at linuxwebpro.com, rha)
 * Altered parse so that append is honored if passed an array (Brian)
 * Converted comments and documentation to phpdoc style (rha)
 * Added clear_var to set the value of variables to "" (rha)
 * Added unset_var to usset variables (rha)
 *

/**
 * The template class allows you to keep your HTML code in some external files

 * Note: If you think that this is like FastTemplates, read carefully. It isn't.
