Templates allow the user to format pages into preexisting layouts without needing to know HTML.
However once the page is in a template format you cannot use the visual editor, because the visual editor only works with pages in HTML
If you want to convert your page from template format to HTML input "subst:" right before the start of the template
How to set up a template
