An end-user will never see that terminology, but an author > may (if the document consists of several pieces) Again, "Document" is an "XML Document", an internal unit of storage. A "Page" is "that which is presented to the consumer of the site." Go ask anybody (a parent, a child, the village idiot) what they see on a website, and they will answer "a page". When did someone start referring to Pages as Documents? Lenya has never displayed Documents; it has always used Documents as input to create Pages. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
