My research shows that the word Template exists only as a noun.
I feel comfortable using the word to Template, or Templating (as a verb or gerund), to express the process of creating a template, though it doesn't exist…
Or is there a good word to describe this that does exist?
My need is a bit tricky – I'm referring to a process where you create a template and then create documents based on it. So perhaps we could say:
Start the Document (templating/other word) process.

Templatize is sometimes used in the computer industry, to refer to the process of creating a template from some example.
