The way I figure, any macro language is better than none, and HTML  
has none. This makes the choice easier for me.
Here's the docs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
Wikipedia:Template_namespace

Basically it is simple substitution, with each macro defined on it's  
own wiki page. You write a macro call as
{{mymacro|arguments}} which gets the macro from the wiki page  
Template:mymacro, substitutes the arguments for the parameters, and  
leaves the result in place.
