  * @class Ext.Template
- * Represents an HTML fragment template. Templates can be precompiled for greater performance.
- * For a list of available format functions, see {@link Ext.util.Format}.

- * Usage:
+ * Represents an HTML fragment template. Templates may be {@link #compile precompiled}
+ * for greater performance.
+ * For example usage {@link #Template see the constructor}.
+ * 
+ * @constructor
+ * An instance of this class may be created by passing to the constructor either
+ * a single argument, or multiple arguments:
+ * 
+ * single argument : String/Array
+ * 
+ * The single argument may be either a String or an Array:
+ * String : 

+var t = new Ext.Template("<div>Hello {0}.</div>");
+t.{@link #append}('some-element', ['foo']);
+ * 
+ * Array : 
+ * An Array will be combined with join('').
 
-var t = new Ext.Template(
+var t = new Ext.Template([
     '<div name="{id}">',
         '<span class="{cls}">{name:trim} {value:ellipsis(10)}</span>',
-    '</div>'
-);
-t.append('some-element', {id: 'myid', cls: 'myclass', name: 'foo', value: 'bar'});
+    '</div>',
+]);
+t.{@link #compile}();
+t.{@link #append}('some-element', {id: 'myid', cls: 'myclass', name: 'foo', value: 'bar'});
 
- * @constructor
- * @param {String/Array} html The HTML fragment or an array of fragments to join("") or multiple arguments to join("")
+ * 
+ * multiple arguments : String, Object, Array, ...
+ * 
+ * Multiple arguments will be combined with join('').
+ * 
+var t = new Ext.Template(
+    '<div name="{id}">',
+        '<span class="{cls}">{name} {value}</span>',
+    '</div>',
+    // a configuration object:
+    {
+        compiled: true,      // {@link #compile} immediately
+        disableFormats: true // See Notes below.
+    } 
+);
+ * 
+ * Notes:
+ * 
+ * Formatting and disableFormats are not applicable for Ext Core.
+ * For a list of available format functions, see {@link Ext.util.Format}.
+ * disableFormats reduces {@link #apply} time
+ * when no formatting is required.
