There are two different templates that the use of indexes will require you to provide.
The first is a list of all the content assigned to a specific index key. The
second is a [list](/indexes/lists/) of all keys for that index. This document
addresses the template used for the first type.
## Creating index templates
For each index type a template needs to be provided to render the index page.
In the case of tags, this will render the content for `/tags/TAGNAME/`.
The template must be called the singular name of the index and placed in
layouts/indexes
.
└── layouts
└── indexes
└── category.html
The template will be provided Data about the index.
## Variables
The following variables are available to the index template:
**.Title** The title for the content. <br>
**.Date** The date the content is published on.<br>
**.Permalink** The Permanent link for this page.<br>
**.RSSLink** Link to the indexes' rss link. <br>
**.Data.Pages** The content that is assigned this index.<br>
**.Data.`singular`** The index itself.<br>
