Publisher uses Presentation Templates to define how a content item is formatted and displayed when it is published.

A Data Entry Template defines the properties that make up a structured content item and determines the types of data that users can enter in the Content Item Editor to create a content item.  

When the content item is previewed or published, a Presentation Template is used to format that data for display. Presentation Templates can include basic formatting, images, and standard boilerplate text, as well as programming logic to display information based on the value of specific content item properties.  A Presentation Template is a text file that includes XML-like tags that are replaced with content from the Publisher. A Presentation Template can output any type of text file, including a Java source file, an html file, or a Cascading Style Sheet file.  You can also create a stand-alone Presentation Template that is publishable without a content item or Data Entry Template. This is useful when you want to create a simple single-page port let that lists links to content items. Producers or Administrators are responsible for creating Presentation Templates and attaching them to the associated Data Entry Templates. You must have one of these roles to create and edit Presentation Templates.
