# Template Configuration
The template configuration file (template.conf) contains template meta data (template name, author), defines page layouts, navigation areas, and the stylesheet loading order. All .conf files are written in the JSON format.

## Example Template Configuration File (template.conf)
```js
{
  "name" : "Template Name",
  "author" : "Author Name",

  "layouts" : {
    "default" : {
      "name" : "Default",
      "regions" : [ "site" ]
    }
  },

  "navigations" : [ {
      "title" : "Main Navigation",
      "name" : "mainNav"
  }, {
      "title" : "Secondary Navigation",
      "name" : "secondaryNav"
  } ],

  "stylesheets" : [ "global.less", "typography.less" ]
}
```
