Hi Doug,

Actually the correct naming for the campsite parser would be "template engine".
In a way it's a kernel because at least from the reader's point of view is the
central engine receiving and answering user requests. I wouldn't mind to rename
the parser but would you do the search-replace function in the manual? Plus a
short explanation of the name change and why it happened?
