| Template |
| -------- |
| |
| A template is an **artifact**, and uses artifact-mapping-resource (see :ref:`artifact_type` -> Mapping) |
| and artifact-template-velocity (see :ref:`artifact_type` -> Velocity). |
| |
| A template is **parameterized** and each parameter must be defined in a corresponding **mapping file**. |
| |
| In order to know which mapping correlates to which template, the file name must start with an ``artifact-prefix``, |
| serving as identifier to the overall template + mapping. |
| |
| The **requirement** is as follows: |
| |
| ``${artifact-prefix}-template`` |
| |
| ``${artifact-prefix}-mapping`` |
