API. You can modify these templates and add your own templates by editing this file,

using the markup conventions.

You can also create a template part library file in an HTML template that you create

from scratch. In this case, you must ensure that the file observes the HTML markup

conventions that the DOM API uses to indicate the name and content of a document

part template in a document part library. To ensure this, copy the default template part

library file into the template you create from scratch.

Add a Template to an HTML Document Part Template Library File

Unzip the template package containing the part template library file.

Open the file, named docpart_templates.html by default, in an HTML or text

editor.

Create the following HTML markup in the <body> element of the file.

<span class="TemplateName">TEMPLATE_NAME</span>

</div>

TEMPLATE_BODY

</div>

Replace TEMPLATE_NAME with a unique name for the template. Use this name in the

constructor of a DOM DocumentPart object to be based on this template.

Replace TEMPLATE_BODY with HTML markup that defines the fixed content and

holes of the template.

Save the library file.

Repackage the template.
