-We added an instruction to specify to the response that we use the newslist.tpl template.  There is no need to type the ".tpl" suffix of the file name, because it is actually a Jelix [[en:manual:selectors|selector]].

-A selector comprise a module name and a resource name separated by the "~" character, like this: "module_name~resource_name". The "module_name~" part is not mandatory when this is the current module. The resource name is not obligatorily a file name, even if, most of the time, it is a file name. The object which uses the selector ([[en:manual:templates|jTpl]] here) knows how to retrieve the file corresponding to the selector. You will see that the selectors are very often used and allow a certain flexibility and independence from physical paths.+A selector comprise a module name and a resource name separated by the "~" character, like this: "module_name~resource_name".
