  <title>Manually creating new templates</title>



  <!-- ****************** -->
  <!-- BEGIN Introduction -->
  <!-- ****************** -->
  <p>This page is a reference guide to manually creating <app>gLabels</app> templates.
  <app>gLabels</app> templates are defined in simple XML files as described in the DTD:
  <link href="http://glabels.org/xmlns/2.3/glabels-2.3.dtd.txt">glabels-2.3.dtd</link>
  (this DTD also describes other XML files used by <app>gLabels</app>).</p>

  <p>Manually created template files should be placed in the <file>${HOME}/.glabels</file>
  and be named with a <file>.template</file> extension.</p>

  <note style="advanced">
    <p><app>gLabels</app> searches for templates in several other locations as defined here:</p>
    <table frame="all" rules="rows">
      <tr>
        <td><p>Location</p></td>
        <td><p>Description</p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><p/></td>
        <td><p/></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><p><file>${prefix}/share/libglabels-3.0/templates</file></p></td>
        <td><p>Predefined templates distributed with <app>gLabels</app>.</p>
            <p><file>${prefix}</file> is usually <file>/usr</file> or <file>/usr/local</file>,
            depending on where <app>gLabels</app> was installed.</p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><p><file>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/libglabels/templates</file></p></td>
        <td><p>User defined templates created with the <app>gLabels</app> <gui>Template Designer</gui>.
            <em>Do not put manually created templates in this directory.</em></p>
            <p>If <file>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}</file> is not defined, it defaults to <file>${HOME}/.config</file>.</p></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><p><file>${HOME}/.glabels</file></p></td>
        <td><p>User defined templates that have been created manually should be placed in this
            directory.
            Older versions of the <app>gLabels</app> <gui>Template Designer</gui> (prior to 3.0)
            would also put templates in this directory.</p></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </note>

  <note><p>Completed template files can be sent to the
        <app>gLabels</app> template
        <link href="mailto:glabels-templates@lists.sourceforge.net">mailing list</link>
        for possible inclusion in future versions of <app>gLabels</app>.</p>

  <section id="template-layout-node">
    <title><span its:translate="no">Layout</span> Node</title>

    <p>A label node may contain multiple <code its:translate="no">Layout</code>
      children.  If labels are arranged in a simple grid pattern, only
      one layout is needed.  However, if labels are arranged in multiple
      grids, such as a running bond pattern, multiple
      <code its:translate="no">Layout</code> tags can be used. </p>
    <p>A common example for multiple layouts is a sheet with three
       CD labels:</p>

    <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
    <figure>
      <desc>CD label sheet</desc>
      <media type="image" src="figures/layouts-cdlabel.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
        <p>CD label sheet</p>
      </media>
    </figure>
    <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->

    <p>The two labels on the left edge can be assigned to a grid, assuming we
       can define the coordinates for the top left label and the distance to
       the second label properly. The distance to the left edge is common to
       these labels. The third one on the right edge has no common distance
       values with the other ones, that's why we have to define a second layout,
       with unique coordinates for the top left corner of that label.</p>

	<note style="tip">
	<p>You can define multiple layouts only if the labels on the sheet
        have the same shape. If your sheet contains different shapes, you have
        to define each shape in another template seperately. Future versions
        of <app>gLabels</app> will probably be able to concatenate such sheets
        with different shapes within a single template.</p>
      </note>

	<note style="tip">
	<p>A single label can always be treated as a grid of one.</p>
