simple theme
Edit Page Browse Space Add Page Add News

The simple theme renders "bare bones" HTML elements. The simple theme is most often used as a starting point for other themes. (See Extending Themes for more.)

For example, the textfield tag renders the HTML `<input/>` tag without a label, validation, error reporting, or any other formatting or functionality.

Both the xhtml theme and css_xhtml theme extend the simple theme. Look to them for examples of how to build on the foundation laid by the simple theme.

## Head Tag

The simple theme head template prints out a javascript include required for the datetimepicker tag to render properly.
