David, quick question, in order to help improve the document. Could you please look at the second paragraph below the "radio tower picture". It says:
"Now let's look at the action queues: here, the active part, the producer, is the Parser and Filter Engine. The passive part is the Action Processor. The latter does any processing that is necessary to call the output plugin, in particular it processes the template to create the plugin calling parameters (either a string or vector of arguments)." I thought that addresses the question on who generates the template strings. I am not sure if you missed it, or if the wording is bad. If it is a problem with the wording, I'd appreciate if you could suggest some text (it is always a bit harder for the non-native English speakers, plus, I have to admit, I do not really invest another day to do the full editorial work that would be necessary to make this a great document - anyone up for this task? ;)).
