# Templates

RIB uses a template system to control the appearance of your repository's web pages. When RIB generates an HTML page, it looks for subsitution keys in your template which tell it where to place the data it generates. RIB automatically plugs in the appropriate value wherever it finds a substitution key.

The "Edit Template" button is located under the " Manage Catalog" tab. Clicking this button brings up the following menu:

What's New

Clicking on one of the choices causes a new window to pop up where the template can be edited. Save the revised template by clicking the "Save" button.

At any time during editing, click the "View Substitution Keys" button to show the list of substitution keys. To dismiss the list and return to the template editor, click on the "Return to template" button.
