 * Okay i did the archive wrong,
    I now have a page with a list of all tags in a
   custom taxonomy using:
 *     ```
       <?php
             $taxonomy     = 'custom';
             $orderby      = 'name';
             $show_count   = 0;
             $pad_counts   = 0;
             $hierarchical = 1;
             $title        = '';
   
             $args = array(
               'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
               'orderby'      => $orderby,
               'show_count'   => $show_count,
               'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
               'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
               'title_li'     => $title
             );
       ?>
   
       <ul>
             <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * And each tag list item goes to a page with all posts tagged with that custom 
   taxonomy tag using taxonomy-custom.php and:
 *     ```
       <?php $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>
   
               <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
               <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Now is it possible to make this page a wordpress ‘page’ template
    so that for
   each taxonomy tag i have a new page using the same template in which the user
   can write a bit of info about the particular taxonomy tag?
 * I created a page template using the taxonomy.php code but it doesn’t work because
   i’m guessing wordpress is using the archive.php instead through the template 
   hierarchy?
 * Hope i explained ok and thanks for any help
