+=head3 Commonalities
+
+There are certain common elements to a template, and these are extracted

+output a HTML header, and nearly all include the F<macros> template to
+load up some common template functions. We'll look at these common

+
+The C<view> template takes some objects (usually just one) from
+C<objects> and displays the object's properties in a table. It also
+displays a list of other objects related to the first one via 
+C<has_many> style relationships.
