I want on the subsequent page to get the articles from the sub topic..so
first page has topics that are linked...press link go to subtopic page and
list articles...my idea is that if I can use the existing topics as the
basis for organization then the content creators can add and subtract sub
topics without me having to hardwire the subpages, in my head it is like
using puppet sprites in director...I am working in part off of what I think
is happening with the "if..then..else" in the article statement in the very
beginning of the root page...it seems to work and sends an artcle request
off to the <[article2]> element, superseding the rest of the host's root
page....the clue from last week from Carlida was to look at the code-init
and that makes sense but I still need to understand what it is doing a
little better..that is my guess..am I close?

So /topicname/ is in fact handled by the root page script? Then yes,
<(content)> will allways correspond to the content part of your root
page. What do you want to accomplish? Where do you want to get the
content
from?

You have various means. $midgard->uri will hold the full request URI
(so that would be /topicname/ or /dev/topicname in this case), and
$argv will hold the path elements that follow the active page
(so all elements, since it's the root page): $argv[0] will
be 'topicname', or $argv[0] will be 'dev' and argv[1] 'topicname, etc.
