# Using a Custom Template
This is an example showing how one can customize pdoc's default template.
The individual changes are explained in the template files themselves.
To use a custom template, run pdoc with the `--template-directory` (short: `-t`) command line argument:
```
pdoc -t ./examples/custom-template pdoc
```
