Xerte is an engine, and you can send it a wizard to do different things, so by giving it a path parameter it will load and style differently. Since Xenith, the RSS template has gone cold a little</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

Hi all,
</div><div><br></div><div>I'm just checking my understanding of some of the Xerte nomenclature:</div><div><br></div><div>Page type:<span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>A way of presenting a chunk of information or an interaction (eg. graphic + text, multi-choice question, hot spot graphic) - stored as an html file (for the output), and an XML description (for the editor) inside a template</div>
<div>Template:<span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>A package of page types and associated files designed for a specific purpose (eg. the Nottingham template for general elearning)</div><div>Module:<span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>A collection of templates presented in a particular way (eg. Xerte template = general elearning, Site template = Bootstrap website)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some questions:</div><div><br></div><div>- I'm unclear on what the other templates inside the Xerte module are for, or why you'd need them?</div><div>- What's the difference between parent_templates and templates? In what way is one a parent?</div>

<div><br></div><div>If someone has already documented these structures, please could you point me in the right direction, to save reinventing the wheel.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Mark</div>
