I haven't experimented with it myself, but Kid has something new in 0.7 (we should have it in TurboGears as well, since we're using Kid from svn) called "layout templates": http://lesscode.org/projects/kid/ticket/62 This allows you to flip around the template relationship a bit. You lose the ability to view individual templates in the browser, but if that's not important to you this may be a good way to go. Kevin
