public interface TemplateDefinition
A template definition can be used for any sort of template (e.g. a document-, message- or email-template, etc). It contains the meta information about a single template and is classified using getType() and getSubType() where the type will later be used to lookup a renderer able to render or further process this template. A template might contain one or more variations (e.g. for multiple languages) represented with TemplateVariationDefinition. Each one of the variations has its own content mapped to a single VariationDefinition (e.g. for a single language in a country, etc).
