[h3]Page templates[/h3]
There are currently five layout templates, unless your website offers additional layouts. The template names are [code]default[/code], [code]full[/code], [code]choklet[/code], [code]redable[/code] and [code]zen[/code]. To select a template for your custom layout, use the ‘template’ tag in the first line of your layout, i.e. [code][template]full[/template][/code]. The default template is used if no other template is specified. 

[h4]default[/h4]

The default template defines a ‘nav’ area at the top, ‘aside’ as a sidebar with a fixed width, ‘content’ for the main content area and ‘footer’ for a page footer.

[h4]full[/h4]

The full template corresponds to the default template except that there is no ‘aside’ area.

[h4]choklet[/h4]

The Choklet template offers six different flavours of layout styles. I.e., to select the template ‘choklet’ with the flavour ‘three’, use [code][template=three]choklet[/template][/code].

[ul]
[*] (default flavour) - a two-column layout similar to the default template, but more flexible
[*] [code]bannertwo[/code] - a two-column layout with a banner area, compatible with the default template on small displays
[*] [code]three[/code] - three-column layout (adds a ‘right_aside’ area to the standard template)
[*] [code]edgestwo[/code] - two-column layout with fixed margins
[*] [code]edgesthree[/code] - three-column layout with fixed margins
[*] [code]full[/code] - three-column layout with fixed margins and the addition of a ‘header’ area below the navigation bar
[/ul]

[h4]redable[/h4]

A template for reading longer texts in full screen mode (i.e. without a navigation bar). Three columns: aside, content and right_aside. For maximum readability, it is advisable to use only the middle content column.

[h4]zen[/h4]

Gives you the freedom to do everything yourself. It is just a blank page with a content area. 

[h3]Regions[/h3]

Use ‘region’ tags in your custom layout to decide what content should be placed in which regions. Three ‘macros’ have been defined for your use.

$htmlhead places the site head content into your layout.
$nav places the site navigation bar content into your layout.
$content places the content which is defined in the page created under [observer.baseurl]/webpages/[observer.webname]/

By default,
[code]$nav[/code]
is inserted into the ‘nav’ page area and
[code]$content[/code]
into the ‘content’ area. You only need to use these macros if you want to change the order of the elements or move them to other areas. 

[h3]Themes[/h3]

To select a theme for your page, use the ‘theme’ tag.

[code][theme]suckerberg[/theme][/code]

This selects the theme ‘suckerberg’. By default, the theme preferred by your channel is used.

[code][theme=passion]suckerberg[/theme][/code]

This selects the theme named ‘suckerberg’ and chooses the ‘passion’ scheme (theme variant). Alternatively, it is also possible to use compressed theme notation.

[code][theme]suckerberg:passion[/theme][/code]

The compressed notation is not part of Comanche itself, but it is recognised by the Hubzilla platform as a theme specifier.
