Beginner's Guide

Every page needs a head, sometimes a message (after saving) and, of course, a component. One component
can be displayed per page. The component can make use of the module chrome as well. The error and the
print view template files work exactly like the main template file.
CSS Folder
You will find three files in this folder.
1. The css/template.css file with predefined commented CSS commands. If you don't use the
blueprint framework, you have to uncomment a few of them. The lines are specifically marked.
2. The file css/template_ie.css is empty. Here you can add style overrides for Internet Explorer.
3. The file css/template_rtl.css is empty as well. You can add style overrides for right to left
languages.
