---------------------------
+:mod:`repoze.bfg` Built-in Templating Facilties
+===============================================
-.. automodule:: repoze.bfg.template
+Three templating facilities are provided by :mod:`repoze.bfg` "out of
+the box": :term:`ZPT` -style, :term:`Genshi` -style, and :term:`XSLT`
+templating.
+
+ZPT-style and Genshi-style templates are in :mod:`repoze.bfg` are
+supported by the :term:`Chameleon` (nee :term:`z3c.pt`) templating
+engine, which contains alternate implementations of both the ZPT and
+Genshi language specifications.
+
+XSLT templating is supported by the use of :term:`lxml`.
+
+Below is API documentation for each of those facilities. Each
+facility is similar to the other, but to use a particular facility,
+you must import the API function from a specific module. For
+instance, to render a ZPT-style template to a response, you would
+import the ``render_template_to_response`` function from
+``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` while you would import
+``render_template_to_response`` from ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi``
+in order to render a Genshi-style template to a response. While these
+functions have the same name, each will only operate on template files
+that match the style in which the template file itself is written. If
+you need to import API functions from two templating facilities within
+the same module, use the ``as`` feature of the Python import
+statement, e.g.:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from repoze.chameleon_zpt import render_template as zpt_render
+ from repoze.chameleon_genshi import render_template as genshi_render
