# Template

A `genese` template is powered by **Twig** with a **Frontmatter** header.

```
---
to: app/emails/{{ name }}.html
---

Hello {{ name }},
{{ message }}
(version {{ version }})
```

In this example, a file `app/emails/xxx.html` will be generated according to your parameters.

## Header

The Frontmatter section is delimited by `---` at the top of the template.

It defines the template metadata in the YAML format.

You can find a complete reference [here](https://ubermanu.gitbook.io/genese/templates/frontmatter).

## Body

The body of the template contains whatever content you need to generate.

Just keep in mind that it's processed by Twig.

So in the case you need to generate some Twig templates, remember to escape some brackets.

You can find the documentation [here](https://twig.symfony.com/).
