This page provides a basic guide on how to create a template for tutorials. Templates are essential for maintaining a consistent look and feel across your tutorials and for making the process of creating new tutorials more efficient.

Basic Structure

A typical tutorial template includes the following sections:

  • Title: The title of the tutorial.
  • Introduction: A brief introduction to the topic.
  • Table of Contents: A list of sections in the tutorial.
  • Content: The main content of the tutorial, which may include explanations, examples, and screenshots.
  • Conclusion: A summary of the tutorial and any next steps.

Creating a Template

To create a template, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose a Template Engine: There are many template engines available, such as Jinja2, Handlebars, and Pug. For this guide, we will use Markdown as the template engine.
  2. Define the Structure: Decide on the structure of your template. This can be done by creating a new Markdown file and adding the sections mentioned above.
  3. Add Placeholders: Use placeholders in your template to indicate where content will be inserted. For example, you can use {title} to represent the title of the tutorial.
  4. Customize the Template: Customize the template to match your brand and style guidelines. This can include adding your logo, choosing a color scheme, and defining fonts.
