How to create a template for the Markdown format

I've downloaded the latest HelpSmith version to check out the Markdown generation capability.

While it works fine on the sample help projects, on our existing projects, we do not have a template for the Markdown format. As a result, the generated documentation does not include the titles of the topics.

Q: How do I add a template for the Markdown format to existing help projects?
