French term or phrase: gabarit de mise en page
Before anyone tells me to check the glossaries - be it known that I have done so! I found a reference to 'page gabarit' in the sense of 'template page' - which I think comes closest to the meaning here, but wanted confirmation from an expert...I am wondering whether 'gabarit de mise en page' actually means the same as a 'page gabarit' or whether there is a subtle difference. Here's the context, from a document about proposal for a CMS (Content Management System):

une bibliothèque « Contenus » (textes des produits) sont présentés sous différents gabarits « de mise en page » sélectionnables selon les interfaces des différents destinataires. Les textes initiaux rédigés dans la langue « Z » seront à traduire par les gestionnaires régionaux.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

neutral  Tony M: OK in a print situation, but maybe less appropriate for web design (no margins, gutter, portrait/landscape orientation etc.) 'Mise en page' CAN mean simply 'layout'

agree  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): yes because it depends on the destinataire
