<p>The code templates page contains templates that are used by actions that generate code and/or source files.
E.g. the New Class wizard uses source and header file templates to create new files and code templates to insert generated method stubs.
Templates contain variables that are substituted when the template is applied. Some variables are available in all templates, some are specific to templates.</p><table

File templates can not only be defined and modified for C/C++ files, but also for other content types, like Assembly files or plain text files.
The New File from Template wizard can be used to create new files based on one of the templates defined in this page.
