=== Coding standard and character encoding for Customised Templates using the same names as Standard Cumulus Templates ===
[[File:Web settings.JPG]]Your edited template should be written in ''HTML 5'' using ''charset="UTF-8"'' encoding. If it is using one of the standard names in the table above and does not comply with that coding, then you need to unselect the 'UTF-8 encode' selection illustrated here, get to it via '''Configuration''' menu, Internet option, ''Sites/Options'' tab and look for Web Settings frame in top centre.
*If it is using one of the standard names in the table above and does not comply with that coding, then you need to unselect the 'UTF-8 encode' selection illustrated here, get to it via '''Configuration''' menu, Internet option, ''Sites/Options'' tab and look for Web Settings frame in top centre.
 
=== Using third party user customised templates ===
'''If you choose to use third party user customised templates [http://sandaysoft.com/downloads designs from other providers] you need to check if their web page coding starts as HTML5 extract below.''' If it does mention ''charset="UTF-8"'', and uses the name of a standard template and is stored in cumulus\web, then the '''UTF-8 encode''' should be selected as shown in 'Web Settings' frame above. If it uses a standard name and path, but does not mention utf-8, then uncheck the '''UTF-8 encode''' in the frame illustrated. Finally, if it uses a name other than a standard one, treat as [[#Creating or Editing Templates in a Separate Folder]].
