• "demos/index.html" template [via demos index template]

[!] Although, the above templates are very tightly coupled with jQueryUI implementation. If Builder lives outside of jQueryUI, any template needing any extra parameter to be passed, or if we need any template somewhere else, it will eventually require a change in the code and addition of versions check to know what to do.
