# Customisation
Customisation of settings can be done via the config.json file (use example-config.json as an example) and see [the configuration guide](docs/CONFIG.md)<br/>
Additionaly, more complex configuration of the precise template of the whole site, can be done via [EJS](https://ejs.co/) (in /views) (see [the list of things variables and functions available in EJS](docs/EJS.md) (you will need to understand EJS syntax and JavaScript, to customise this (why did I use EJS? well I originally had this weird system of format indicators with percent (%) signs and stuff (like in unix's date (`date`)) but then I was told EJS is better and it sure is, though it is a bit harder to understand but MUCH more powerful!))
