Idea for New LaTeX formats. Comments?

["Chris Travers" <..hidden..>]

Hi all;

It has occurred to me that it would probably be very helpful if we
actually made the most of the LaTeX templating possibilities.  I am
looking at designing a LaTeX .sty which would create macros for most
of the layout operations.  This way, LaTeX templates could be far
easier to maintain, and large portions of them could be standardized
across all of the documents that a company uses.

Any ideas, comments, requirements, feedback?

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
