−Templates
+
−---------
+
−
+
−*Templates* are specific views that do not depend on a result set. The basic
+
−class `Template` (`cubicweb.common.view`) is derived from the class `View`.
+
−
+
−To build a HTML page, a *main template* is used. In general, the template of
+
−identifier `main` is the one to use (it is not used in case an error is raised or for
+
−the login form for example). This template uses other templates in addition
+
−to the views which depends on the content to generate the HTML page to return.
+
−
+
−A *template* is responsible for:
+
−
+
−1. executing RQL query of data to render if necessary
+
−2. identifying the view to use to render data if it is not specified
+
−3. composing the HTML page to return
