In most cases, since the presentation is handled by CSS, template index files are very similar. Unless you need to add user interface coded features (or Ajax functionality), most of the templates you create will have an index.php file almost identical to the one you will create here (although they may have more module inserts).

Here is an excerpt of the default template file so you can see the similarity to a traditional HTML page: Printing QR Code In None Using Barcode drawer for Software Control to generate, create QR-Code image in Software applications. www.OnBarcode.comANSI/AIM Code 128 Generator In None Using Barcode drawer for Excel Control to generate, create Code 128B image in Office Excel applications. www.OnBarcode.com< php echo '< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ' .'>'; > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="< php echo _LANGUAGE; >" xml:lang= "< php echo _LANGUAGE; >"> <head> <jdoc:include type="head" /> Notice that the page opens with a !DOCTYPE declaration. The DOCTYPE tag describes the standards and schema that will be used by the file. It also tells the browser how to interpret the CSS. While not required, having a proper DOCTYPE can prevent a number of compatibility problems with a browser rendering the page. s Caution When you create a new template file, make sure you duplicate the DOCTYPE given in the Joomla default template file exactly. The DOCTYPE in the file has been well tested. Errors in this tag can cause all sorts of unpredictable and difficult-to-locate problems. This tag is followed by the html tag. Within the html tag is embedded PHP code that adds the language attribute before the page is sent to the browser. The jdoc tag is the Joomla include that executes pieces of the Joomla CMS written in PHP In any version of Joomla from 1.5 forward, the jdoc (JDocument) interface is used to . access the Joomla interface framework. JDocument handles the presentation output of the Joomla system. To include a module in a particular location, you need only use the jdoc:include call. For example, to add the left modules at a place in your index.php file code, you could use the following statement: <jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" />
s Note In older templates and programming items, you may encounter the prefix mos. Joomla was originally based on the Mambo CMS. Mambo often used the prefix mos (for Mambo Open Source). Therefore, you may find Joomla legacy code that still bears the moniker of the predecessor. You ll see it less and less as Joomla moves away from its past. For example, in older Joomla or Mambo templates, functions such as mosLoadModules() and mosCountModules() were used to access the system. These are now replaced by jdoc calls, such as jdoc:include and jdoc:exists, respectively.
