How to visualise the templates/ directory

Working out the dependencies in templates\ is a tricky. Many TMPL:DEF definitions and TMPL:P uses, with things being defined in all sorts of ways.

It would be useful to get some tips on what people use to get visibility of the dependencies.

Shell grep like expressions etc would be appreciated.

grep TMPL:DEF *.tmpl | perl -plane 's/%TMPL:DEF{"(.*?)"}%.*/$1/'

(the last one shows what defines things)

grep TMPL:P *.tmpl | perl -plane 's/%TMPL:P{.*?".*?".*}%.*/$1/'

Should show where stuff is used.

Doesn't work properly.

 grep TMPL:INCLUDE *.tmpl | perl -plane 's/%TMPL:INCLUDE{"(.*?)"}%.*/$1/'

shows the include hierarchy
