A single template (*.NBT) uses as many SQL queries as desired. Each query joins as many tables and uses as many database types as desired. An unlimited number of nested queries can be opened and used simultaneously. For sample templates, see Chapter 5.

The programming language used to create the required source files is an extension of HTML (hypertext markup language). The additional tags are SGML (standard generalized markup language)-compliant paired tags. With the correct DTD (Document Type Definition), it is possible to use existing HTML and SGML editors to create the templates, and then parse and preview them.
