Creating a Page Template
If your help system will have different types of pages with with elements that are the same, it may be useful to create a page template for each type of page. Page templates are located in the project folder and have the format:
_PageTemplate_<template name>.aspx
Example: _PageTemplate_HTML Page.aspx
Follow the steps below to create a new page template.
1. Design the new page template using an HTML editor or text editor. In the example below, we'll use WebMatrix which is a free editing tool from Microsoft. An example of a new page template is an FAQ page.
2. Once finished editing, save the page template to the project folder in the format "_PageTemplate_<template name>.aspx" (example: _PageTemplate_FAQ Page.aspx)
3. When you add a new page to your help system, you'll be able to select this new template.
4. The new page will be created from the selected page template.
