<(content)> is 'magic' (as is <(title>). It will automatically be
replaced by the content part of the page your browser visited.

Think of the pages as the glue between the content in the topics & articles
and your styles.
When a page is visited, Midgard will find its associated style and start
building a page from it. While it is not strictly required, you will
probably have a <(content)> tag in there somewhere. In the content
part of the page you can then either have static HTML, or a script
that does interesting things with your content trees and displays that.

You should do that regardless. Myst is Zen. Zen is required to do
any job right[0]. Maybe we should list Myst amongst the system
requirements :)
