What do Templates do?

Manual:
v5 - Pages 185-189 (Export to HTML), pages 259-260 (PortWeb), pages 277-289 (Templates & Macros)
v6 - Pages 104-108 (Exporting web pages), pages 111-112 (HTML page macros)
v6 - PortWeb manual

Templates support two functions: -

1. They export Portfolio information to 'static' HTML pages for web browsing.
2. They provide the response templates available to the PortWeb web server plug-in when returning queries to the user.

If at this point you haven't read the manual references above, I recommend strongly that you to do so.

A very important point for PortWeb users to note is that when serving a Catalogue, it can only find and use the templates stored in that Catalogue alone. It is 'blind' to templates in other Catalogues or stored externally in a folder.

The basic template creation process (Export to HTML) is discussed further here.
