That's pretty much what I've been doing (the part I snipped, that is), but now that I'm essentially turning the whole site into a Wiki, technically I *am* going to have an auto-generated title. Not in the database, though; it'll more likely be the site + web + Wiki Word (a la "Phoenyx : Members : Karen Cravens"). Which sort of eliminates the problem, for me, I guess, since it'll make the title code-generated. But right now, I'm doing it something like Cees described... each (content) page looks something like this: (include for the header fragment) Title Of The Page (include for another header fragment, up to the BODY tag) Menu Bar Or An Include For A Standard One (include for a formatting fragment) Main Content (include more formatting) Sidebar Or An Include For A Standard One (include for the ending formatting) I suppose some sort of interleaving function would be kind of neat, but I can't think of any elegant way to do it. The Wiki version flips that all around, and just has a main template with a TMPL_VAR for the title, menu bar, content, and sidebar. I may end up using sub-templates to generate some of that (a sort of simulated variable include), but more likely it'll be generic Wiki text files (TWiki, specifically). Though, come to think of it, I don't think H::T's variables/includes would be any harder to use than TWiki's, so I might end up with a hybrid. -- Karen J.
