=head1 DESCRIPTION
Catalyst::Helper::View::TT in that it additionally creates a simple
set of templates to get you started with your web site presentation.
-It creates the templates in a F<templates> directory underneath your
+It creates the templates in F<root/> directory underneath your
main project directory. In here two further subdirectories are
-created: F<src> which contains the main page templates, and F<lib>
-containing a library of other templates components (header, footer,
+created: F<root/src> which contains the main page templates, and F<root/lib>
+containing a library of other template components (header, footer,
etc.) that the page templates use.
The view module that the helper creates is automatically configured
to locate these templates.
-=head2 METHODS
+=head2 Default Rendering
+
+To render a template the following process is applied:
+
+The configuration template F<root/lib/config/main> is rendered. This is
+controlled by the C<PRE_PROCESS> configuration variable set in the controller
+generated by Catalyst::Helper::View::TTsite. Additionally, templates referenced by
+the C<PROCESS> directive will then be rendered. By default the following additional
+templates are set: F<root/lib/config/col>,
+which defines color names and RGB their RGB values and F</root/lib/config/url>,
+which defines site wide variables available to templates.
+
+Next, the template defined by the C<WRAPPER> config variable is called. The default
+wrapper template is located in F<root/lib/site/wrapper>. The wrapper template
+passes files with C<.css/.js/.txt> extensions through as text OR processes
+the templates defined after the C<WRAPPER> directive: C<site/html> and C<site/layout>.
+
+Based on the default value of the C<WRAPPER> directive in F<root/lib/site/wrapper>,
+the following templates are processed in order:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * F<root/src/your_template.tt2>
-=head3 mk_compclass
+=item * F<root/lib/site/footer>
+
+=item * F<root/lib/site/header>
+
+=item * F<root/lib/site/layout>
+
+=item * F<root/lib/site/html>
+
+=back
+
+Finally, the rendered content is returned to the browser.
