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

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