+Cheetah for web development. These <em>utility templates</em> might contain
+a number of small functions which generate useful snippets of markup.</p>
+<p>For example:</p>
+<pre><code>#def copyright()
+ #import time
+ &amp;copy; CheetahCorp, Inc. $time.strftime('%Y', time.gmtime())
+#end def
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Figure 1, util.tmpl</strong></p>
+<p>Prior to version <strong>v2.2.0</strong> of Cheetah, there wasn't really an easy means
+of filling templates with bunches of these small utility functions. In
+<strong>v2.2.0</strong> however, you can decorate these methods with <code>#@staticmethod</code>
+and use "proper" Python syntax for calling them, <strong>fig 1</strong> revisited:</p>
+<pre><code>#@staticmethod
+#def copyright()
+ #import time
+ &amp;copy; CheetahCorp, Inc. $time.strftime('%Y', time.gmtime())
+#end def
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Figure 1.1, util.tmpl</strong></p>
+<p>With the addition of the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#staticmethod">@staticmethod</a> decorator, the <code>copyright()</code>
+function can now be used without instantiating an instance of the <code>util</code>
+template class. In effect:</p>
+<pre><code>#from util import util
+
+&lt;strong&gt;This is my page&lt;/strong&gt;
+&lt;br/&gt;
+&lt;hr noshade/&gt;
+$util.copyright()
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Figure 2, index.tmpl</strong></p>
+<p>This approach is however no means to structure anything complex,
+<a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#staticmethod">@staticmethod</a> and <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#classmethod">@classmethod</a> use in Cheetah is not meant as a
+replacement for properly structured class hierarchies (which

+<a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#staticmethod">@staticmethod</a>/<a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#classmethod">@classmethod</a> are quite useful for the little snippets

+trivial to create *utility templates* which are common when using
+Cheetah for web development. These *utility templates* might contain
+a number of small functions which generate useful snippets of markup.
+
+For example:
+
+ \#def copyright()
+ \#import time
+ &copy; CheetahCorp, Inc. \$time.strftime('%Y', time.gmtime())
+ \#end def
+**Figure 1, util.tmpl**
+
+Prior to version **v2.2.0** of Cheetah, there wasn't really an easy means
+of filling templates with bunches of these small utility functions. In
+**v2.2.0** however, you can decorate these methods with `\#@staticmethod`
+and use "proper" Python syntax for calling them, **fig 1** revisited:
+
+ \#@staticmethod
+ \#def copyright()
+ \#import time
+ &copy; CheetahCorp, Inc. \$time.strftime('%Y', time.gmtime())
+ \#end def
+**Figure 1.1, util.tmpl**
+
+With the addition of the $staticmethod decorator, the `copyright()`
+function can now be used without instantiating an instance of the `util`
+template class. In effect:
