+ \item {\tt before {\it template}}: Run {\it template} before every normally-requested template, including its output at the beginning of the final output. This can be used to set up project-wide global state. Performing initialization inside project SML files will not generally be good enough. This is because all of the structure definitions these contain are evaluated at ``compile time,'' causing their code not found inside function definitions to be run only once.
+
+ \item {\tt after {\it template}}: Run {\it template} after every successfully executing template, including its output at the end.
+
+ \item {\tt exn {\it template}}: Run {\it template} when an exception goes uncaught during normal template execution. The function {\tt Web.getExn : unit -> exn} can be used to retrieve the causing exception from within {\it template}. The {\tt before} and {\tt after} templates are not run in the {\tt exn} template when it is executed because of an uncaught exception.
