When an item is published, the Content Manager render engine retrieves information from the .NET Tridion Object Model using the scripts in the Templates and renders content. When content is published, it is rendered (using the templates) and content is packaged and moved with publishing information to the Publication Target server.
Content Manager Templates determine the layout and design of the rendered output. Scripts in Templates use the TOM.NET object model to extract information from the Content Manager:
- Component Templates can be:
- simple Component Templates, written in VBScript, JScript, or XSLT (now deprecated)
- Compound Component Templates, consisting of Template Building Blocks that are .NET assemblies, Dreamweaver Templates, and so on
- Page Templates can be:
- simple Page Templates, written in VBScript or JScript (now deprecated)
- Compound Page Templates, consisting of Template Building Blocks that are .NET assemblies, Dreamweaver Templates, etc.
