Using Code Templates
--------------------
template
^^^^^^^^
The template node registers a template that can be used to avoid duplicate
code when extending the generated code, and it is a child of the typesystem
node.
.. code-block:: xml
// the code
Use the insert-template node to insert the template code (identified by the
template's ``name`` attribute) into the generated code base.
insert-template
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The insert-template node includes the code template identified by the name
attribute, and it can be a child of the inject-code, conversion-rule, template,
custom-constructor and custom-destructor nodes.
.. code-block:: xml
Use the replace node to modify the template code.
replace
^^^^^^^
The replace node allows you to modify template code before inserting it into
the generated code, and it can be a child of the insert-template node.
.. code-block:: xml
This node will replace the attribute ``from`` with the value pointed by
``to``.
