my code for one of my content templates works: http://drupalbin.com/4014
but it is terrible!

I reuse sections and just copy and paste them. is there a way to define a function and then reuse it... like for printing out the leader address, phone and email... that code gets done 4 times!

And the html output is non-css-able (is that even a word?) if you could, make some suggestions how I could change the code in a few places, or suggest a post or tutorial, I would very much appreciate it!

... and I'm not sure why, but the lid's are missing, and the 'view' for the user's are missing too (I looked with print_r().) And sometimes I had to access with ...['uid'] and sometimes with ...->uid

I'm perplexed, but happy the code works.

there is no reason that I know of why you shouldn't be able to create functions inside the template. contemplate just calls the php eval function.

as for non css-able code... there is no reason that you couldn't use css on the code returned in your templates, just make sure you give your html elements css IDs and Classes.
