-in the template set associated with the template.
+Each template is named by a string specified when it is created. Also, each
+template is associated with zero or more other templates that it may invoke by
+name; such associations are transitive and form a name space of templates.
 
-If no template invocation actions occur in the template, the issue of template

+A template may use a template invocation to instantiate another associated
+template; see the explanation of the "template" action above. The name must be
+that of a template associated with the template that contains the invocation.
 
-There are two ways to construct template sets.
+Nested template definitions
 
-The first is to use a Set's Parse method to create a set of named templates from
-a single input defining multiple templates.  The syntax of the definitions is to
-surround each template declaration with a define and end action.
+When parsing a template, another template may be defined and associated with the
+template being parsed. Template definitions must appear at the top level of the
+template, much like global variables in a Go program.
+
+The syntax of such definitions is to surround each template declaration with a
+"define" and "end" action.
 
 The define action names the template being created by providing a string
-constant. Here is a simple example of input to Set.Parse:
+constant. Here is a simple example:
 
-	`{{define "T1"}} definition of template T1 {{end}}
-	{{define "T2"}} definition of template T2 {{end}}
-	{{define "T3"}} {{template "T1"}} {{template "T2"}} {{end}}`
+	`{{define "T1"}}ONE{{end}}
+	{{define "T2"}}TWO{{end}}
+	{{define "T3"}}{{template "T1"}} {{template "T2"}}{{end}}
+	{{template "T3"}}`
 
 This defines two templates, T1 and T2, and a third T3 that invokes the other two
-when it is executed.
+when it is executed. Finally it invokes T3. If executed this template will
+produce the text
 
-The second way to build a template set is to use Set's Add method to add a
-parsed template to a set.  A template may be bound to at most one set.  If it's
-necessary to have a template in multiple sets, the template definition must be
-parsed multiple times to create distinct *Template values.
+	ONE TWO
 
-Set.Parse may be called multiple times on different inputs to construct the set.
-Two sets may therefore be constructed with a common base set of templates plus,
-through a second Parse call each, specializations for some elements.
+By construction, a template may reside in only one association. If it's
+necessary to have a template addressable from multiple associations, the
+template definition must be parsed multiple times to create distinct *Template
+values.
 
-A template may be executed directly or through Set.Execute, which executes a
-named template from the set.  To invoke our example above, we might write,
+Parse may be called multiple times to assemble the various associated templates;
+see the ParseFiles and ParseGlob functions and methods for simple ways to parse
+related templates stored in files.
