Templates and Views This guide showcases the SilverStripe template engine and learn how to build your own themes. SilverStripe comes with it's own templating engine. This guide walks you through the features of the template engine, how to create custom templates and ways to customise your data output. file-code

Most of what will be public on your website comes from template files that are defined in SilverStripe. Either in the core framework, the modules or themes you install, and your own custom templates.

SilverStripe templates are simple text files that have .ss extension. They can contain any markup language (e.g HTML, XML, JSON..) and are processed to add features such as $Var to output variables and logic controls like <% if $Var %>. In this guide we'll look at the syntax of the custom template engine [api:SSViewer] and how to render templates from your controllers.
