-ikiwiki uses the HTML::Template module as its template engine. This supports things like conditionals and loops in templates and is pretty easy to learn.

It ships with some basic templates which can be customised:
* `templates/page.tmpl` - Used for displaying all regular wiki pages.
+* `templates/misc.tmpl` - Generic template used for any page that doesn't
+ have a custom template.
* `templates/recentchanges.tmpl` - Used for the RecentChanges page.
-* `templates/edit.tmpl' - Edit page.
-* `templates/create.tmpl' - Creating a new page.
-* `templates/signin.tmpl` - Used for the SignIn form and all assciated forms, if it exists.
-
- Note that the SignIn form is implemented using CGI::FormBuilder, which interfaces to HTML::Template, so not all of it can be customised with templates, although most of it can, by creating this template. Without the template, CGI::FormBuilder creates the page by itself.
+* `templates/editpage.tmpl' - Create/edit page.
+
+If you like, you can add these to further customise it:
+
+* `templates/signin.tmpl` - If it exists, it is used for customising the
+ layout of the SignIn form and all assciated forms. The misc.tmpl is
+ wrapped around this, so it should only be a template for the form.
+
+ Note that the SignIn form is implemented using CGI::FormBuilder, which
+ interfaces to HTML::Template, so not all of it can be customised with
+ templates, although most of it can, by creating this template. Without
+ the template, CGI::FormBuilder creates the page body by itself.
I aim to keep almost all html out of ikiwiki and in the templates.
