1 [[Ikiwiki]] uses many templates for many purposes. By editing its templates,
2 you can fully customise this site.
4 Templates are located in `/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates` by default;
5 the `templatedir` setting can be used to make another directory be
6 searched first. Customised templates can also be placed inside the
7 "templates/" directory in your wiki's source.
9 Ikiwiki uses the HTML::Template module as its template engine. This
10 supports things like conditionals and loops in templates and is pretty
11 easy to learn. All you really need to know to modify templates is this:
13 * To insert the value of a template variable, use `<TMPL_VAR variable>`.
14 * To make a block of text conditional on a variable being set use
15 `<TMPL_IF variable>text</TMPL_IF>`.
16 * To use one block of text if a variable is set and a second if it's not,
17 use `<TMPL_IF variable>text<TMPL_ELSE>other text</TMPL_IF>`

44 These templates are used to build the wiki. The aim is to keep almost all
45 html out of ikiwiki and in the templates.
