I recommend that you read some basic book about Rails, e.g. Agile Development With Rails 2nd ed. from Pragmatic Programmers or Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Applications that is right now available for free from SitePoint. Alternatively, you can run script/generate scaffold YourModelName and look into your app/views folder for a hint about what Rails templates are. ---

You can have good templates as you advance and use good html code. Good Luck ---

If you’re asking how to combine layouts and templates, have a look at this article [http://gregwillits.wordpress.com/2007/10/16/modular-page-layouts-in-](http://gregwillits.wordpress.com/2007/10/16/modular-page-layouts-in-) ruby-on-rails/ and recently I saw this screencast which is a nice short overview on lyaouts too > **[\#7 All About Layouts - RailsCasts](http://railscasts.com/episodes/7-all-about-layouts)** > > Short Ruby on Rails screencasts containing tips, tricks and tutorials. Great for both novice and experienced web developers. – gw
