The template.info file is a standard INI file located in all the templates folders and is used to specify basic information on that template such as the name, category and extension.

The template.info file requires a "config" section with the following values:

• name - defines the name of the template as shown in the project options and help generation dialog
• category - defines the category of the template and used to combine code templates in the quick generation popup menu
• extension - defines the extension of the main file which will be generated by this template (e.g. "chm" for CHM help files). This only serves as a suggestion for the default file name, as the file extension can be changed for each build
• topicextension - defines the extension of the topics file (e.g. "htm" for CHM help files). Templates can use this value to generate topic files.
