Remarks

The elements.xml file is itself referenced in the ElementManifests section of a feature.xml file that is also part of the WSP file. When the feature is activated for a site collection, the web template becomes available for creating new websites within the collection. The ElementManifests section also identifies an Onet.xml file that contains additional details of the web template that are not specified in the WebTemplate child element.
