When I'm adding a new strongly-typed view to an ASP.NET MVC project, I can select between different view content templates (Create Details, Edit, List). I have read these are templates based on the Visual Studio T4 code generation engine.
How can I author and configure my own templates and let them appear in the available templates when adding a new view?

T4 templates in entity framework are used to generate C# or VB entity classes from EDMX files. Visual Studio 2013 or 2012 provides two templates- EntityObject Generator and DBContext Generator for creating C# or VB entity classes. The additional templates are also available for download.
T4MVC is a T4 template for ASP.NET MVC apps that creates strongly typed helpers that eliminate the use of literal strings in many places.
Scaffold templates are used to generate code for basic CRUD operations within your ASP.NET MVC applications against your database with the help Entity Framework. These templates use the Visual Studio T4 templating system to generate views for basic CRUD operations with the help of Entity Framework.
