While I have seen some excellent results using dynamic pages, I hope that Legacy does not adopt them, at least for primary web generation. Most of the free host sites -- Rootsweb and the like -- do not allow php or other schemes. With a site that runs to 800+ megs, space rental is not an option.

I know it is a precise job which has to be executed carefully but I suppose it will be less than redoing every page. I hope that in the future Legacy is capable of generating "dynamic" websites (php or asp). Are there any plans to this?
