Content Types

All Plone v2 content types are associated with at least two templates: one for viewing, and one for editing. Plone v3 content types are associated with at least a viewing template.

Note:

The viewing templates use a lot of the CSS that redefines HTML tags. The editing forms use all of the CSS associated with forms.  All of these styles are defined in a single style sheet:

• In Plone v2.x: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles/plone.css
• In Plone v3.x: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles/public.css

Plone comes equipped with 8 content types out of the box:
