Often the template page contains a simple skeleton for a particular type of
-page. For the bug report pages in the above example, it might look
-something like:

+ ENDBODY]]
The template page can also contain [[!cpan HTML::Template]] directives,
like other ikiwiki [[templates]]. Currently only one variable is
set: `<TMPL_VAR name>` is replaced with the name of the page being
created.
+Text outside the [[templatebody]] directive is not part of the template,
+and can be used to document it.
+
+If the template does not contain a [[templatebody]] directive, the entire
+source of the page is used for the template. This is deprecated.
