<p class="Paragraph">To minimize the impact of layout changes, a mechanism is needed for dynamically including layout in addition to content. That way, both layout and content can be changed without modifying files that use them. For large websites that have many pages with identical formats, such a mechanism is valuable because it localizes changes to layout. That mechanism is JSP templates.</p>
