simple theme

The simple theme renders “bare bones” HTML elements. The simple theme is most often used as a starting point for other themes. (See Extending Themes for more.)

Both the xhtml theme and css_xhtml theme extend the simple theme. Look to them for examples of how to build on the foundation laid by the simple theme.

The source of the simple head.ftl template is:
