Miles Libbey commented on TS-218:
---------------------------------

FWIW, we decided not to use docbook b4 going live (which would have been 
similar to Leif's suggestion):
- We didn't have the docbook format of the admin guide, and converting to that 
vs html was more expensive.
- the ability to make a pdf doc seemed overkill.

using ssi, I think we get pretty close to what Leif was talking about.  For 
instance, in docs/v2/admin, there are 3 includes -- 
  - top.html (has the header and search)
  - bottom (the footer)
  - leftnav (the table of contents on the left side).

We should be able to do something very similar for the other site pages. 

> enable templating/ssi etc for website
