Is 'stxfile' the actual filename? I'm not concerned about it being

It's the name of an object. I made up this name for your "structure text
file, in each of the folders A B C". You may call it as you will.
Note: there is no such thing as a "file" in the ZODB. Everything is an
object.
Really?
You should try clicking on the drop down menu near the Add button of ZMI.
That allows you to create a file ;-)...
That's a File, with a capital F. There's a difference.
This is how "content" is viewed. One thing I forgot to mention: you
would apply this template (say it's named 'special_view') to your
folders, like:
http://localhost/A/special_view
http://localhost/B/special_view
http://localhost/C/special_view
Now, if we used a template like this (let's name it 'direct_view')::
<div>I'm a header</div>
<p tal:replace="structure context/CookedBody">
This is sample page content
</p>
<div>I'm a footer</div>
we could apply it like so::
http://localhost/A/stxfile/direct_view
http://localhost/B/stxfile/direct_view
http://localhost/C/stxfile/direct_view
This is a much more typical pattern, at least for content. If you want
to apply a wrapper to page templates, then you use macros.
I can't say I understood much of that, but this web page gave me an
example of exactly what I wanted to do:-

Here is the code snippet which looks somewhat different to that which you
suggested, or is it basically the same?
<html>
<body>
<!-- assume there is a file or other object containing structured
text, and it's called foobar. -->
<span tal:define="stx
python:modules['Products'].PythonScripts.standard.structured_text;
the_text here/foobar"
tal:content="structure python:stx(the_text)">
The structured text goes here.
</span>
</body>
</html>
The problem is finding such examples, but at least in this instance I've
learnt something, so thanks for the help.
Essentially the same thing, save that you're using a library function to
render some text, instead of asking an object to render itself.
