Templet

Templet is a term that can refer to more than one thing, but it is most commonly encountered as an alternate spelling of template, a model, pattern, or mold used to produce consistent results. The form templet appears in older dictionaries and occasionally in brand names, technical jargon, or project titles as a stylized variant of template.

In computing, templating refers to the technique of filling in placeholders in a predefined document or code block to generate new content. Templating systems can operate at various levels, from simple text substitutions to complex renderers that apply loops, conditionals, and data binding. Web development, configuration management, and code generation are common domains for templating.

Some software libraries and tools have adopted Templet as their name, using it to denote a templating engine or framework. These uses are not necessarily related to one another beyond sharing the underlying idea of reusable patterns. When encountered in technical documentation, Templet often signals a project or library that emphasizes concrete, repeatable content generation or layout assembly.

Outside computing, templet occasionally appears as an archaic spelling of template in linguistic or historical contexts, and in rare cases as a proper noun such as a surname or place name.

Although related to the more common term template, Templet is distinct as a word form and may not always be interchangeable in general use. See also: template, templating, code generation.
