When you define your mapfile, in MAP/WEB/METADATA, you point to the HTML
file via TEMPLATE "sompage.html".

When you run mapserv CGI, calling that mapfile, like:
http://host/mapserv?map=/path/to/somefile.map

...the MapServer CGI process processes the HTML file and looks for the
these special tags and replaces them with the appropriate value.

Also check out:
