# What is "Template", what should i put there ?

The **template** controls the list’s output. You build it from plain HTML and shortcodes (template tags). Many tags are available, but you’ll use two most often: `[posts]` outputs the list of posts, and `[nav]` outputs the pagination.

See [What are the available template tags?](https://w4dev.com/docs/w4-post-list/faqs/what-are-the-available-template-tags/) for the complete list of shortcodes you can use here.
