[Koha] Koha Skins - HTML Templates

[Kyle Hall]

Koha's templates use the perl html::template library. If you open one of the
.tmpl files up, you'll see that it is HTML with some special markup within
html comments.

You can read up on html:template here:
http://html-template.sourceforge.net/article.html

The first place I would start if I were you would be the css files. If you
just want to customize colors, the css files are the place to go. They will
let you modify quite a bit without actually editing the template files.

Other than that, I would just look at a few template files and figure out
exactly what they are doing. That is how I began to create a an intranet
template set for the CCFLS. At first I tried to work with the Default
template set, which is practically all css based, but found that the NPL
template set fit my paradigm much better. If you look at the CCFLS intranet
template set, you will find that even though visually it is quite different
from the NPL set, the essential parts are identical.

Thanks to Owen for the great NPL templates.
