A TopicView defines a view for a topic. By default WikiTopics are displayed using the installed
skin and the templates (don't confuse with TopicTemplate being a content blueprint for newly created topics).
The view (compare with the 'view' term from the Model-View-Control school) computes the appearance
of a WikiTopic and its form data. A new view is assigned to a topic by setting the VIEW_TEMPLATE variable.

For example the following will set th view to use the HiddenFormViewTemplate to hide the form table that 
is normally displayed below the wiki content.
<pre>
   * Set <span></span>VIEW_TEMPLATE = HiddenFormView
</pre>
Note, that the =...Template= string is appended automatically by the Foswiki engine.

Note also, that we use the <nop>TopicView type to mark even those views that are used during _editting_ a
wiki topic and is assigned using something like
<pre>
   * Set <span></span>EDIT_TEMPLATE = FormEdit
</pre>
As such the FormEditTemplate is not used during Foswiki's view operation but during edit. The template
is then used to render the _view on the editor_ to be used. Edit templates either augment the normal
Foswiki editor, or even implement a full substitute for its form data.
