No, that's not true. I could write an entire page of XHTML in about 2 minutes. It only "takes ages" if you don't understand - would you advocate using an application to solve quadratic equations etc., because "they're too hard"? They are hundreds and hundreds of times harder than writing markup, which is a piece of cake. This person wants to write websites, not purist XHTML... they want templates, they want it (presumably) to work in different browsers across different platforms. I do NOT see how using your shell script solution, or some WYSIWYG which generates code which only works in some browsers, would help him in any way at all. Sean
