How to learn about templates?

AnnieQuinn · Yesterday, 09:14 PM

Hello.
I don't know anything about Templates. And I don't know what it does.
But I want to learn and practice.
I don't know anything about programming either.
So where can I start learning in the forum?
Thank you for reading and always helping me in the past time.

Templates are small programs that produce some output based on calibre book metadata. I think a good place to start is examples where you can understand what the template is trying to do and look at how it does it. There are many examples in the template documentation and in the first post of the thread Plugboard, template, and custom composite column recipes.

A common use for templates is column icons and coloring. Perhaps people will share some that they use, showing the template and what it does.
