 2. Install the [Typescript compiler for Meteor](https://github.com/meteor-typescript/meteor-typescript-compiler) or an [IDE which can transpile TypeScript to JavaScript](#transpiling-typescript).
 3. From the typescript files, add references.  Reference the definition files with a single line:

 ### Templates
 
-When specifying template *helpers*, *events*, and functions for *created*, *rendered*, and *destroyed*, you will need to use a "bracket notation" instead of the "dot notation":
+With the exception of the **body** and **head** templates, Meteor's Template dot notation cannot be used (ie. *Template.mytemplate*). Thanks to Typescript static typing checks, you will need to used the *bracket notation* to access the Template.
