Templates exist in the Template directory, in the directory that Freedombase was installed within.

Templates can be edited within that directory, using any recent HTML editor, or any text editor if you prefer to work in the raw HTML.

Templates can also be edited - in raw HTML format only - through the Template page of the Freedombase Designer.

As a general rule, we recommend editing the templates directly within the Template directory, when working locally; and editing the templates through the Designer Template page, when working remotely. Of course, you need to choose whichever method works best for you according to your circumstances.

Once a template has been modified, you need to rebuild it, before the new version of the template will be accessible via the user interface. You can select the '(Re)build Template' utility in the Designer Template page, with the template on display, or you can run the FBTEMPLATE "TemplateName.htm" command line function to rebuilt the template.

Please note that rebuilding the template is different to recreating the template. Rebuilding the template turns the template into a program, but does not change the template itself; whereas recreating the template overwrites the template with a new, default version.
