                For example, in a telephone bill it is necessary to print out a list of all

            <para>
                In the case that a template is stored locally, it must be transfered from the client
                to the server on every request. If the content of the template rarely changes, this
                approach is inefficient. Similarly, if the template is several megabytes in size, it
                may take considerable time to transfer it to the server. Local template are useful

                    formats. This method is particularly useful in the case that a combo list should
                    be displayed that allows the end-user to select the input format of the
                    documentation generation process.
