Templates

Templates are layouts available to users when building new HTML, xHTML or XML pages. Each Template includes one or more Containers, which act as server-side includes. The Containers placed in the Template define the areas on a Page that permissioned users will be able to contribute content to, and how that content will be displayed. Templates provide a page layout, and link the Containers to the page.
