Description

The template docs indicate that method calls can be referenced in templates but don't go into explicit detail on how to access them. As a non-hardcore programmer I found this frustrating, and have written a brief documentation section covering this (attached).

If we were to include this (and it seems reasonable), it should also head off the obvious question of "how do I pass in arguments?" The answer being: "you don't", which is intentional. But that should be mentioned.

The revised patch includes an additional paragraph stating that it's not possible to pass arguments to method calls in templates. Feel free to revise.
