+Setting the default templates
+=============================
+
+Default templates are managed within your webspace. 
+You can specify the template that should be used when creating a page for a specific parent.
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <default-templates>
+        <default-template type="page">default</default-template>
+        <default-template type="home">homepage</default-template>
+        <default-template type="page" parent-template="members">member</default-template>
+    </default-templates>
+
+.. note::
+
+    In the code above is mentioned that the parent template of template `member` is the template `members`.
+
+When you create a page with template `members`, any sub page created will have template `member` as a default template.
