I suspect most are generating them dynamically. I know of only a few packages that are designed to output static HTML pages using some kind of templating, and they are for specific purposes: - Movable Type: http://movabletype.org/ [blogging, simple blog-like CMS] - album: http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/ [photo albums] ... and neither of those is Free Software. Of course there's nothing intrinsically non-Free about generating a bunch of HTML pages, and a search for "html templating" on freshmeat.net turns up a few more candidates which you could have a go at. If you're able to run dynamic content (especially PHP, it's a popular language for this kind of thing), you could look at the list of open source CMS programs at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ , Drupal in particular seems to have gotten good reviews from some SLUGgers: http://www.drupal.org/ -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
