Templates are used by Freedombase, to provide developers with absolute control over the Freedombase user interface. Templates are HTML/DHTML pages, with % tags that tell Freedombase how the page should be integrated with Freedombase and the database. Templates can be edited using any recent HTML editor.

Instead of forcing developers to use Web pages of particular styles or layouts, or that may not fully work on some browsers, Freedombase allows developers to create and implement any styles and layouts that they like, and to make the pages compatible with any browsers that they like. This is achieved by editing Freedombase templates, then telling Freedombase to implement those modified templates.

Freedombase will create default Templates, that follow a particular, default Freedombase style, that is suitable for most in-house applications. Those templates can then be modified to follow any other layout or style as required. Default templates are fully functional on all major browsers. New templates can also be created from scratch.

Generally, each Web page in the Freedombase user interface will have one template, controlling how that page works and appears. It is, however, also possible to share templates or between user interface pages.
