[ xmlSE . how to . create a new static template ] edit

If you would like to add a page to the site that is not a record or index page, such as a page with contact information or something of that sort, you can create a new html template. Instead of calling it 'record' or 'index' give it a descriptive name with no spaces or special characters, for example 'contact' for a contact information page. When you build the site, the html in the template will be written to a file named 'contact.html'. You could then put a link to contact.html in the index template.

The advantage of using a template over just sticking a file in one of the browser directories is that you can use the header and footer tags to maintain the appearance of the browser version of the site, and browser-wide changes made when you edit a browser will be applied to static pages.
