+TWiki uses a handful of general computer and Internet terms in a TWiki-specific way. This _could_ get confusing, but it actually works out fine in use. The TWikiGlossary is also a quick way to get familiar with the overall TWiki set-up...

+**Attachment** _aka_ **File Attachment** - upload files by browser and attach them to any page, where they can be viewed, edited, downloaded; accessed by clicking **Attach** at page bottom ([[FileAttachments]])
+
+**Plugin** - a TWiki feature add-on; a Perl module that enhances TWiki, through the Plugin API spec; named `<_>Plugin.pm`, ex: `SomePlugin.pm` ([[TWikiPlugins|Main/TWikiDocumentation#TWiki_Plugins]])

-Skins are customized [[TWikiTemplate|Main/TWikiTemplates]] files. You can use skins to change the look of a %WIKITOOLNAME% topic, for example the layout of the header and footer. Note that the renderd text between header and footer does **_not_** change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, ex: a view optimized for printing.

+
+Skins are customized [[TWiki Templates|Main/TWikiDocumentation#TWiki_Template_System]] files. You can use skins to change the look of a %WIKITOOLNAME% topic, for example, the layout of the header and footer. Rendered text between header and footer does **_not_** change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, like a view optimized for printing.
 
-Skin files are located in the <code>**twiki/template**</code> directory and are name with this syntax: <code>**&lt;scriptname&gt;.&lt;skin&gt;.tmpl**</code>. For example, the <code>**print**</code> skin for the <code>**view**</code> template is <code>**view<font>.print</font>.tmpl**</code> (red color added for clarification).
+--++ Defining Skins
+
+Skin files are located in the `twiki/templates` directory and are named with the syntax: <code>**&lt;scriptname&gt;.&lt;skin&gt;.tmpl**</code>. For example, the **Printable** skin for the `view` template is `view.print.tmpl`.
+
+## <a name="Activating Skins"></a> Activating Skins
 
 A skin can be activated in two ways:
 
-- Define the SKIN preference variable in [[TWikiPreferences]], one of the [[WebPreferences]], or a user preference. Ex:
+- Define the `SKIN` Preference variable in [[TWikiPreferences]], one of the [[WebPreferences]], or in a user - Main.admin - topic.
   - `Set SKIN = print`
+
 - Add `?skin=name` to the URL, for this example:
   - <http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=print> (for the print view skin)
   - <http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=plain> (for the plain view skin that has no header and footer)
 
-The <code>**?skin=name**</code> URL parameter overrides the SKIN preference value.
+The <code>**?skin=name**</code> URL parameter overrides the SKIN Preference value.
