FHIR IG publisher templates
A FHIR IG template are used by the FHIR IG Publishing tool when publishing FHIR implementation guides. The templates control:
- the look and feel of the published IG
- the way the resources are laid into pages
- how users navigate around the pages
From the point of view of an IG Author, the IG template consists of a list of files, and documentation that describes how the author writes their own narrative and fits that into the pages described by the template.
Known IG templates
To use a template, you specify the 'template' parameter in the IG. You can nominate either the official code for a template (where it has one defined, which is controlled by the FHIR product director), or the URL of the location of the template.

Authoring IG templates
The information below is for authors of templates, and is highly technical. It should only be used by template authors.
A template contains 3 kinds of artifacts:
- a configuration file that describes how resources are rendered into HTML
- active scripts that generate content as part of the build process
- jekyll templates / include files / html files
