# Build Template (BLDTPL)

The BLDTPL command aids in composing RPG-XML Suite template (*.tpl) files. These are then converted using the CRTRPGTPL Command, which are in turn used with the Template/Composition Engine subprocedures (RXS_StartComposeEngine(), RXS_ComposeSection, RXS_ComposeVariable(), and RXS_GetComposeBuffer()) to compose XML documents.

**Note: You will need to make manual modifications to the generated .tpl file prior to using it with the CRTRPGTPL Command.** 

**Please follow our example on [Creating an RXS Template](https://isupport.katointegrations.com/rxs/3.1/creating_an_rxs_template.md) to understand this process.**
