#Templating

Templating in Umbraco consists of 2 larger concepts, namely Templates, and Macros. Templates are used for the html layout of your pages, whereas macros are resuable dynamic components used for embedding navigation, forms, lists, and so-on in your templates.

##Template options

There are 2 types of templating technologies in Umbraco:

  • MVC (views)
  • WebForms (masterpages)

Umbraco recommends using MVC templates so if you are unsure what to choose then use MVC.

It's easy to configure the default type, in the /Config/umbracoSettings.config file, find this section and set the type you'd like to use (Mvc or WebForms):

<templates>
	<defaultRenderingEngine>Mvc</defaultRenderingEngine>
</templates>

NOTE: MVC Templating is only available from v4.10+
