templates

The templates directory contains templates that can be combined with nodes and other templates.

When Uriel builds your web site, it combines the nodes and templates together to create rendered pages in the public directory containing your finished web site.

How Pages Are Constructed

Each dynamically-generated page on your web site starts with a content node.

Each node has a template associated with it. The template is defined in the node, using the Template header. If a template header is not defined, then the default.html template is used instead.

Templates can use substitution parameters, which can include all sorts of dynamically-generated content on the page, including user-defined Python code.

When the page is rendered, the template is the first thing that is included in the rendered page.

If you want the node body contents to show up on the page (and you almost certainly do), then the {{node:body}} substitution parameter should be included somewhere in the template. This is where the node body content will be merged into the middle of your template.

Templates can include other templates using the {{include:default.html}} substitution parameter. The node body contents can also include templates using the same parameter.
