Organizing Templates

Template sections are organized in a hierarchy under the config section. The config section itself is not a template. The config.default template is a child of the config section and is the root of the default template inheritance tree. Beneath the config.default template are the standard templates config.default.section, config.default.article, config.default.tag and config.default.master:

config
  config.default
    config.default.section
    config.default.article
    config.default.tag
    config.default.master

This part of the template hierarchy is fixed. Below this point, the templates and their hierarchical structure are user-defined. The hierarchical structure is very important, since it governs how the layouts in templates are combined by inheritance. For more about the details of how template inheritance works, see Inheritance in the Widget Framework.
