Templates

Pick your pleasure

My Web site program offers an easy-to-use template system.

You’ll notice that this page—if you’re looking at it before anybody has changed it—uses a very simple format. To change it to the same layout as other pages in the site, all that’s necessary is to select the main template from a menu.

The templates themselves are plain HTML documents with simple comments as placeholders. When the server serves up a page, it inserts the page’s content into the places indicated by the template and then sends it to the browser.

Creation and editing of templates is restricted by access control. Guests are not permitted to alter templates on this sample site.

(You’ll probably need to go back in your browser, or you could start back at the top.)
