+## Standard Templates
+By default, Gutenberg will look for three templates: `index.html`, which is applied 
+to the site homepage; `section.html`, which is applied to all sections (any HTML 
+page generated by creating a directory within your `content` directory); and 
+`page.html`, which is applied to all pages (any HTML page generated by creating a 
+`.md` file within your `content` directory).
+
+The homepage is always a section (regardless of whether it contains other pages).
+Thus, the `index.html` and `section.html` templates both have access to the 
+section variables.  The `page.html` template has access to the page variables.
+The page and section variables are described in more detail in the next section of this documentation.
+
+## Built-in Templates
+Gutenberg comes with three built-in templates: `rss.xml`, `sitemap.xml`, and 
+`robots.txt` (each described in their own section of this documentation).
+Additionally, themes can add their own templates, which will be applied if not 
+overridden.  You can override built-in or theme templates by creating a template with
+same name in the correct path. For example, you can override the RSS template by
+creating a `templates/rss.xml` file.
+
+## Custom Templates
+In addition to the standard `index.html`, `section.html`, and `page.html` templates,
+you may also create custom templates by creating a `.html` file in the `templates`
+directory.  These custom templates will not be used by default.  Instead, the custom template will _only_ be used if you apply it by setting the `template` front-matter variable to the path for that template (or if you `include` it in another template that is applied).  For example, if you created a custom template for your site's About page called `about.html`, you could apply it to your `about.md` page by including the following front matter in your `about.md` page:
+
+```md
++++
+title = "About Us"
+template = "about.html"
++++
+```
+
+Custom templates are not required to live at the root of your `templates` directory.
+For example, `product_pages/with_pictures.html` is a valid template.

 ## Built-in filters
 Gutenberg adds a few filters, in addition of the ones already present in Tera.
