+Hints for theme builders
+------------------------
+
+ * Start from an existing [[CSS file|css]], see also the [[css market]] for examples
+ * You can override the [[templates]] files by dropping them in a `templates` subdirectory
+ * Try to stick with modifying the CSS however, maintaining custom templates is harder
+ * If you *do* override a template, note that you will need to rebuild the wiki for it to be applied...
+ * ...it may therefore be preferable to load the template directly in your browser to develop it
