[geeklog-devel] Reducing Template Files

[Joe Mucchiello]

The old GUS plugin used it. Media gallery uses it. Several other old
plugins used it. One of the most difficult parts of creating the CTL was
emulating these block functions.

I have no idea why it was never used in core Geeklog.

CTL adds If/Else and Loop functions that can also be used to reduce the
number of templates. And they do it cleaner than the block functions since
you don't have to add block calls to the code to use them. I still find
coding for the block functions odd.
