Mercurial comes with some templates bundled. They may be stored in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mercurial/templates/ or in /usr/share/mercurial/templates.
In this folder there are few files:
map-cmdline.bisect
map-cmdline.changelog
map-cmdline.compact
map-cmdline.default
map-cmdline.xml
They're styles to use in command line e.g. hg log -l 10 --style changelog.
Alse there are folders:
atom
coal
gitweb
monoblue
paper
raw
rss
spartan
Each of them contains files like:
bookmarkentry.tmpl
bookmarks.tmpl
changelogentry.tmpl
changelog.tmpl
error.tmpl
filelog.tmpl
header.tmpl
map
tagentry.tmpl
tags.tmpl
I'm guessing these are templates to use with hg serve. While trying run hgweb with -t option i get following error:
$ hg serve -t paper

Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: No hgweb templates found in ['paper']
Does anyone know what are this folders/files and how to run hg serve with different templates?
ps.: I use Mercurial 2.1.1
You need to use the --style flag to specify a template style such as gitweb or paper.
hg serve --style paper
This will look in the shared templates folder and use the set of templates there. The -t option expects a path pointing to a set of templates.
