This tool allows to define structured data types (classes) in your wiki. Please consult the [[developer's guide>>http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WebHome]] to get familiar with the XWiki data model and the public APIs.

= Templates for new data types =

Here are the templates and sheets for creating new classes:

* [[Default code for displaying a class>>ClassSheet]]
* [[Document template for new classes>>ClassTemplate]]
* [[Default code for displaying class instances (objects)>>ObjectSheet]]

= Create a new data type =

Choose a simple name, such as //Article//, //Book//, //Employee//. '//Class//' will be appended at the end automatically.
