Customize Template in Web Matrix

Unlike Visual Studio .NET, ASP.NET Web Matrix will only generate a very simple code file when creating a new web form. However, we can customize the template as in Visual Studio .NET, and the template file for Web Matrix is normally located at:

[InstallationFolder]\[VersionNumber]\WebMatrix\Templates\aspx\[LanguageType], for example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET Web Matrix\v0.6.812\WebMatrix\Templates\aspx\C#

A sample modified template like:
   1:  <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
   2:  <script runat="server">
   3:   
   4:      // Insert page code here
   5:      //
   6:   
   7:  </script>
   8:  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
   9:  <html>
  10:  <head>
  11:      <title></title> 
  12:      <meta content="..." name="..." />
  13:  </head>
  14:  <body>
  15:      <form runat="server">
  16:          <!-- Insert content here -->
  17:      </form>
  18:  </body>
  19:  </html>


 Finally, we would see a new element of <title></title> and DOCTYPE tag in that ASPX file, and we can also do the same for different types of files such as ASCX, ASMX..etc
