Templates tutorial

Hey gang, new to Ant, but absolutely LOVE it. The template that comes preinstalled is great, however I would love to create my own, but can't seem to find a tutorial.

I am not looking to do anything fancy or crazy, I just want to remove a bunch of the fields that are in the default template, and add a few of my own that are not included.

I hoped I could do this on the custom field tab, but I couldn't.

Any help or direction to a template tutorial is greatly appreciated.

You mean the HTML view/export templates or the printing templates?
- For the first case,
In File->Export->HTML there is a basic editor that has a menu to insert the special tags corresponding to the field names.
The list of tag names are also listed in the Help file (on the HTML Export page).
- For the second case,
there is a basic explanation in the Help file

Thanks for the response. I won't be printing anything, so no need for printing templates.

I just want to remove some of the fields that I do not need, such as media label, borrower, etc.

Also I would like to add some fields, for example, more URL fields as my files are all digital and the first URL field I have linked to the actual video on my hard drive. I would like to have a 2nd url field to link to a youtube preview of the video.

Well using the help app, I was able to figure out how to add a custom field, I wish I knew how to remove default fields and make my custom additions show up in that pane as well, and move the fields around.
