A
page template is a template you can use to create new HTML, XHTML, JSP, or
Faces JSP pages in Page Designer. Each new page looks like the page template
and usually contains a section of the page for adding your own information.
Page templates let you maintain a consistent look and feel for your entire
Web site.
For example, if you change the formatting or the graphic on a page template,
the changes are automatically reflected in all the pages that were created
from the template.
Page templates enable you to:
- Create page templates for future use.
- Apply a page template to a page as you are creating the page.
- Insert contents and page fragments into a page or template.
- Merge the page template into a page so that any changes are not applied
to the pages created from that template.
- Apply changes you make to a page template to any pages created from that
template.
- Replace page templates with a new page template.
