I'm learning SS 8.1 and I have major difficulties understanding how it actually works. Below is the Default More Info Page Template where I have put in comments. I want the image to be above the descriptive text etc. I also wonder howcome there are <html> tags in an include file?
The source that SS creates as final generated page contains nested <html> tags!!!
Does anyone know how to create a new row?
Why nested <html> tags?

### Default More Info Page Template ###

Im just learning this myself. But I think I have a handle on it..

First: Which template (theme) did you copy to modify as a Custom Template?

And new row? Table row? Might need a link to an example page.
Or the rendered html at least.

I made a copy "Default More Info Page Template" and editing it.

nm.. I see now. Your using the "Classic-MoreInfoPage" template. Ok. Which theme does that belong to?

And what do u mean by row.. as I posted above. Shoot me a link or example html.

BTW: I'm basing my custom template off of all the CrossSell-Sky templates. That theme seemed to be one of the more up-to-date (if u can call it that) themes.

I just fixed it, by new row I meant adding a new table row <tr>.
The trick was to create a new table in the <td>, then I got the number of rows I wanted.
