This maps the values of the supplied object and runs the compiled template, and returns the result.
This can be used in conjuction with PEAR::Cache, or in the example below, with a email template (note this still needs testing.. - the backend should eventually support a native tokenizer for email templates.)
Parameter
object $controllerObject - The object you want to use with the template, the values of the object will relate to the $controllerObject->tag will map to {tag} on the template
array $elements - This is an associative array of form, or dynamic elements names (or id's) which will be merged with the one defined in the template.
Return value
string - the object variables overlayed on the template
