And you can add text to the body without copying in the entire template, if you want, by doing what's at the end of that page:

The two additions you can make to the default Velocity templates without replacing them are to add HTML markup (actually, Velocity Template Language, which can be a mix of standard HTML markup and Velocity statements) to the <head> section, and/or to add HTML(VTL) markup to the <body> section. You do that by creating one or both of the following files (again relative to idp.home):
views/templates/add-html-head-content.vm
views/templates/add-html-body-content.vm
