DESCRIPTION

       This helper module creates a TT View module.  It goes further than Catalyst::Helper::View::TT in that it additionally creates a simple set
       of templates to get you started with your web site presentation.

       It creates the templates in root/ directory underneath your main project directory.  In here two further subdirectories are created:
       root/src which contains the main page templates, and root/lib containing a library of other template components (header, footer, etc.) that
       the page templates use.

       The view module that the helper creates is automatically configured to locate these templates.

   Default Rendering
       To render a template the following process is applied:

       The configuration template root/lib/config/main is rendered. This is controlled by the "PRE_PROCESS" configuration variable set in the
       controller generated by Catalyst::Helper::View::TTsite. Additionally, templates referenced by the "PROCESS" directive will then be
       rendered. By default the following additional templates are set: root/lib/config/col, which defines color names and RGB their RGB values
       and /root/lib/config/url, which defines site wide variables available to templates.

       Next, the template defined by the "WRAPPER" config variable is called. The default wrapper template is located in root/lib/site/wrapper.
       The wrapper template passes files with ".css/.js/.txt" extensions through as text OR processes the templates defined after the "WRAPPER"
       directive: "site/html" and "site/layout".

       Based on the default value of the "WRAPPER" directive in root/lib/site/wrapper, the following templates are processed in order:

       o   root/src/your_template.tt2

       o   root/lib/site/footer

       o   root/lib/site/header

       o   root/lib/site/layout

       o   root/lib/site/html

       Finally, the rendered content is returned to the bowser.
