Frequently used Html content can be saved as a template, for easy reuse later via theHtml EditorTemplate tool.
For example, you may have a consistent format that you use for a standard Html page within your site. Templates work in much the same way as they do in most Word processors - you save 'boiler plate' text, create a new document based on the template, then fill in the content and save the new document.
Additionally, there are a number of Global templates available for common pages. These always appear at the top of the templates list, and are prefixed by G_.
