Consequently, a single template will actually generate a different file each time Cumulus processes that template because the part of the content that was web tags is now populated with text (values, times, dates, etc.) and, as these values change, a newly generated file is different to the previous generated file.
==Template files provided==
The page dealing with the customisation of web templates is [[Customised templates]], and it includes a diagram that explains how file names are affected by your choices in some of the settings for file transfer.
People writing their own templates can use any file extension (some popular choices are "tmpl" or "cum" to indicate they are Cumulus templates). To ensure that the template files and generated web pages cannot be confused, Steve Loft realised the "T" notation used by the provided templates may not be part of the name you choose, hence the generated file will have "tmp" added to the end of the template name you selected, just to remind you of its temporary existance until the source template is processed again. That "tmp" is removed when the final web page is stored on your web server.
