jReviews has complete separation of code and html output through the use of patTemplate, making it easy to: (1) completely change the appearance of the jReviews pages without changing the code and (2) to maintain your templates in subsequent updates of jReviews. The templates are html files with special tags for patTemplate and they are stored in the /components/com_jreviews/tmpl/default/ directory.
