Templates

New Pages are created from Templates.  There are several file-level components required to create templates for your users. Base Templates (.tmpl files), and Template Control Files (.tcf files) are the core files you'll need.  For the ultimate separation of content from design, it is recommended to use XSL as a part of your template system.  We've dedicated a separate section just for XSL and OmniUpdate templates.
