Quanta uses four kinds of templates which are discussed in the documentation.
1) Page template - new files
2) Text template - text snippets for inserting in files
3) Link template - a reference file to link in
4) tgz template - a template that is tarred and zipped and can contain 
multiple files
Quanta augments templates with the following:
1) Global, user and project scoped areas
2) pre and post text for insertion on links, for example
pre = <?php include ("
post = ") ?>
3) Filters - scripts that run on template insertion that can optionally filter 
the output

In addition to all this Quanta has Project Event Actions where you can assign 
a script to any event, such as file open or close.

This is not the same as Dreamweaver templates which were designed to 
compensate for the limitations of HTML as a static languages. This can be 
overcome using PHP and the include() function. Dreamweaver templates can 
however be emulated, even though we don't support blocking regions as non 
editable. The dwt script included with Quanta was written for this. Beyond 
that it is possible to use Project Event Actions to completely emulate the 
behavior... though just using PHP is a lot easier for me. ;-)
