We should eventually use a templating engine for markup.

Easier editing
Easier theming
Maintainability
Possible solutions
Twig: PHP5, good docs, variable escaping
Blade: what Laravel uses
Smarty: well, it works
PHP itself: at least let's separate templates from logic
What needs to be done
[ ] Load/autoload twig where needed
[ ] Convert and render templates
[ ] Start development on themes!

:+1: Switching to a templating engine is definitely desired; more complex and varying themes require many differences in the way pages are rendered.

Looking over Twig's documentation, it seems like a fitting template system.
