Default template: /templates/index/default.html
The Index template is used to publish each of the Category Index pages, as well as the Global Index page. The Index pages list a number of articles and usually provides a link to follow to read more. Frequently, an Index page will list a summary or an abstract for each article.
This template is also used by the Search Engine when a visitor clicks the "more" link. A published Index page will display the more or no_more templatecells, while a template viewed through the Search Engine will display the prev or no_prev, and the next or no_next cells.
