Introduction

The sxml-templates egg uses sxml-transforms to perform variable substitution on SXML expressions. It defines a record type which represents a SXML template, and includes some procedures for substituting values into that template. The general idea is to enable the use of on-disk files containing only SXML expressions which are loaded and substituted-into as necessary, as opposed to defining procedures which return quasiquoted SXML.
