1: templates or styletags?

howdy folks,

I'm setting up a site using OpenACS 3.2.5 and am wondering what
modules are template enabled. The "getting started" guide says
templates are new but that statement has been there a while. In the
past I have just stuffed a lot of styletags into the pages to
accomplish a "look". Any words of wisdom? Thanks

Only a couple of the modules have been templated.  If you're not planning to change your "look" drastically or to ask non-hackers to help,
it's probably not worth the trouble of rewriting an existing module to make use of the templating feature.

On the other hand, if you're writing something from scratch it's not difficult to template it from the beginning so that would be something to
consider.
