template
Guide for copying
A template is a form or model used to make a number of like things; context determines its particulars.
A document template includes all of the fonts, spacing, and markup required to make a consistent type of document.
In biology, a template is a molecule (such as DNA or RNA) from which copies are made.
In computer programming, templates provide a framework for a reusable set of commands that can be varied according to particular needs.
