@_LEFTONLY_TOP_@
<!-- BEGIN CONTENT -->
<P>My first HTML/ITL page!
<!-- END CONTENT -->
@_LEFTONLY_BOTTOM_@
An important point demonstrated here is the inclusion of the region templates LEFTONLY_TOP and LEFTONLY_BOTTOM through the @_VARIABLE_NAME_@ notation. These are included because of line 4 of the leftonly template definition file:
4 ui_template_layout: LEFTONLY_TOP, UI_CONTENT, LEFTONLY_BOTTOM
However, understand that you are free to change the region templates used in the file by editing the file itself or, better yet, using an existing region as a starting point for a region of your own design.
The next section explains the structure of region templates.
