Different template types and their use from Endpoints to Stylesheets and Partials

The following article explains what templates are, what you can do with them and how you can create them.

Templates contain markup for creating multiple types of output files. They use layouts to ensure that formatting is applied consistently. The following types of templates are available:

Endpoint

These templates can be directly connected to an endpoint or can function as a layout of an endpoint. They usually contain HTML with links to CSS and Scripts.

Google

Contain layouts for using with a Google docs integration.

Mails

Used in mail actions and contain text and layout for an email.

Pdf's

Used for pdf generate actions and contain Prince XML markup.

Soap

Used for creating webservice messages like SOAP.

Javascripts

Used to save scripts that can later be added to endpoint templates.

Stylesheets

Used to save stylesheets that can later be added to endpoint templates.

Partials

Used to save small reusable parts of HTML code. This is usually used for a block of a website that is used on multiple pages and always contains the same structure.

You can create partials within the Pages module.

Creating templates for use on web pages

You can create partials and components in the Pages module. For example, to create a logo header component as described in Working with navigation bar.

You can also create a template from your application. A Template tab is available in the Settings for an application.
