Folks,
I've just reverted back from Lion. I don't have enough space for a dedicated

Anything in particular? My thing was really all about how to do things as a

necessarily better, but sometimes more powerful.

Well for one thing, everything Apple in Lion is 64 bit and is DAMN FAST on

Here is a different approach:
If your source is XHTML you can treat it as XML, and go through nodes that way.
If it's not XHTML, look at this tool:

I second the revWeb plugin/player request!
As for templates, why not construct the template files in a LiveCode field or

That way you have complete control over repeatable 'boiler-plate' and
