I would like to make custom editor templates for different data types in ASP.NET MVC (to use with Html.EditorFor()), including rewriting the existing templates. The ultimate goal is to create a mini-framework where each editor supports javascript notifications about being changed, and I can show a message to the user that there are unsaved changes in the page. (Maybe there's something existing already?)

I can find many questions pertaining to problems with such templates, but nowhere can I find a tutorial or manual on creating them. Where do they go? Is there any special syntax? How does a template get selected? What information is available in the template and how do I access it? Etc.

So - where can I find out all about these templates?

Check and download ASP.NET MVC 3 Futures on http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/58781 and see how the default source code looks. Note: this works for MVC 4 as well.
