stepofweb theme layouts?

[pumplerod]

I'm coming over from PHP where I was using the "Smarty" theme template from stepofweb.

I'd like to build this into my web2py site. 

Has someone already done this? Or is there a best practice for implementation?  For example, should I try and create a "layout plugin" to accomplish this?

No layout plugin.

I works as with any other template. Remove the PHP tags, copy index.html into layout.html. Fix the links to static files (put them in static) and add the web2py tags {{...}} as exampled in the book.
