+Templates
+=========
+
+Puppet supports templates and templating via ERB, which is part of the Ruby
+standard library and is used for many other projects including Ruby on Rails.
+Templates allow you to manage the content of template files, for example
+configuration files that cannot yet be managed as a Puppet type. Learn more at
+http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Templating
+
+You can use templates like this: 
+
+    class myclass {
+      package { mypackage: ensure => latest }
+      service { myservice: ensure => running }
+      file { "/etc/myfile":
+        content => template("mymodule/myfile.erb")
+      }
+    }
+
+The templates are searched for in:
+
+    $templatedir/mymodule/myfile.erb
+    $modulepath/mymodule/templates/myfile.erb
