I don't like the idea of requiring an outside tool to process templates. My
idea was this:
send_template("main_menu.html") would first parse html/header.html, then
html/main_menu.html, then html/footer.html. All the hooks (##D, etc) would
work in the header and footer files as well. Then, you could move whatever
you wanted into these file to accommodate your needs. Seems like the
simplest way. And if you don't want to use them, leave them empty.
