One way would be to define a variable
$mugwumps = "<B><A HREF....>Mugwumps</A><B>";
in a style element. In your page you could then include
&(mugwumps);
If you want it to be fully automatic for the content provider,
instead of inserting <(content)> you could pull the article or
page with the midgard functions, do an ereg_replace on the macros
(in a associative array would be easiest I think) and display it.

If you want formatted text + HTML, use :f and include the
html in [<... >] tags. Thus
This is a preformatted text with some [<HTML encoded <b>text</b> in
it>].

Inherit the style for different parts of your site and replace
the elements you want changed in the new style. Then set the
page for the subsections to the various substyles.
