This was in Contribute 1 days. They had lots of problems with Contribute 1 and dynamic pages. So, they decided to give Contribute the simplest page they could.
Parsing the page was relatively easy. Contribute templates consist of regular HTML marked up with proprietary HTML comments. It's not a full blown language or anything. Anyway, it was an interesting -- if imperfect -- solution. The customer got a very flexible WYSIWYG editor, and the developers didn't have to worry about Contribute trashing live Web pages.
