Templates Tab

The Templates tab specifies a list of directories where new file templates are located. These file templates are gathered from all the document types and presented in the various folders inside the Framework templates folder in the New document wizard.

To open the Templates tab of the Document type configuration dialog box, open the Preferences dialog box (Options ⇒ Preferences), go to Document Type Association, use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend button, and click on the Templates tab.

The Templates tab includes the following actions:

New

Opens a dialog box that allows you to specify the path to the directory of the template. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing tools in the Browse drop-down list.

Tip

The path can also contain wildcards. For example, using ${frameworkDir}/templates/* would add all the template folders found inside the templates directory.

Edit

Opens a dialog box that allows you to edit the path of the selected template. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing tools in the Browse drop-down list.

Tip

The path can also contain wildcards. For example, using ${frameworkDir}/templates/* would add all the template folders found inside the templates directory.

Delete

Deletes the currently selected template from the list.

Move Up

Moves the selected template up one spot in the list.

Move Down

Moves the selected template down one spot in the list.
