I think you need to put them somewhere else. Here's what I do:
I have a master folder for all files relating to a given site.
Within that master folder, I have a folder for the site files, a
folder called "includes," and whatever other misc. folders I need.
I put each of my templates and includes in the "includes" folder, and
in preferences (BBEdit > Preferences > HTML Web Sites > Look for
Templates and Includes in:) I specify the "includes" folder for each
site.
ok, thanks for the info -- i haven't given it a go yet -- will do, but
about the "I think you need to put them somewhere else" part this is
what it says in the user manual pdf ("Using a Template" pg 236):
When creating a template file, you can convert or reuse an existing
document, or you
can write one from scratch. Simply rename the file by adding the suffix
“.tmpl” to it,
and then move or copy it into your active HTML Templates folder.
Templates are always invoked using the New Document tool. Even if you
want to
impose a template on an existing document, you still do it through New
Document.
The Template option appears as a pop-up menu at the bottom left of the
New
Document dialog.
so according to that you do put it in that folder i think or am i
misinterpreting that? i'm not even sure what it means by "New Document
dialog". the closest thing to that is the window you get having chosen
New > HTML Document. in that there's a pop up at the bottom (not
particularly on the left but anyway) titled Templates but the only
option is the one that's already chosen and that's "Default". the new
template i'm trying to create / use isn't for a particular site i
intend it to be used all the time like the default but anyway i'll give
what you said a go. thanks.
ben.
