about:
every *publication* can be used as a *template*, producing *derived publications* or *child publications*. templating is implemented using the *fallback* mechanism, a lenya-specific uri resolver that can be applied to any uri reference in xml files by using "fallback://" as a protocol specifier. the creation of a new child publication from a template is called *instantiation*. child publications can *inherit*
Hmm, no idea if we should use the term "inheritance" here. It is pre-occupied by the OOSD term, and people might get confused ... I'd rather say "child publications can use features ...". -- Andreas
features from the template in two ways: by *copying* files from the template during instantiation, or by *referencing* those files. *copying* severs the link between child and template - later changes to the template will not affect the child. *referencing* implies that all changes to the template will immediately affect the child as well. is this consistent with the usage among developers? regards, jörn
