LimeSurvey 3 introduces a complete new template engine system, based on Twig 1.29, Bootstrap, and allowing template inheritance and template options.  It completely removes the old replacement keywords system. So now, 100% of the frontend HTML can be customized. For example, in the old template system, there was a keyword {ASSESSMENTS} that was replaced by the assessment HTML at execution time. A template designer had no way to customize this HTML (other than using JavaScript). Now, there is a file called assessments.twig that contains the logic (written in Twig) to generate this HTML. In these pages, we will give you some explanation about how to use this new template engine.
