(Microsoft Office, Open Office, LibreOffice, ...)
You can use any formatting tool your editor provides
(font, color, alignment or any advanced formatting options)
Templates are ordinary documents and can be managed and edited directly by clients
Tags are snippets of text (either [[tag]], {{tag}} or <<tag>>) which Templater detects in the document and can manipulate
