in reply to Assembling text into websites

Hi ,

Why not use CSS for the bulk of the replication?

You only need to define the styles etc. once and the refer to the central definition in each file.

... or possibly the template toolkit - whose CPAN name, for the minute, escapes me.

    Major!

    I'm going to use CSS for consistant style, but I'm not sure you can replicate the navigation bar/common website elements across different pages using CSS alone - unless you use a lot of before-after definitions, which seems cumbersome. Or is there a neat way of doing this I don't know about?

      .oO(Surely not another goons fan:-)

      Off hand, I couldn't say, I'd have to read it up...AFAIR, I'm sure I've done something extremely similar in a past job.

        That's cool, some of the other replies are really great, and would give me exactly what I want :-). Thanks for your help too!
