Hi Robert, Thanks for the comments.
This is part of a larger system that currently has a basic file upload/web file manager. We plan on adding some CMS-like features to improve usability of that part of the system. We're mostly interested in wiki-style versioning; e.g. the ability to roll back to a previous version (as opposed to doing patch or merge features). For simplicity, we're working on a file by file basis (you can do #include's, but we leave that to the user). And yes, definitely, users are editing HTML (and other text files) that include VTL. Currently we have a web interface and an FTP interface for managing files. We'd like to put the version features in the web interface and basically use Webdav as a substitute for FTP.
