Customizing the web engine
The web engine is customized by editing html-ish
files. These are basically html files with one or two extra
special tags defined, to indicate where dynamic content needs
to be placed by the web engine. Everything else on the page
may be changed. Note however, that there are some special
client-side javascript functions defined which are to be used
by dynamically-generated content, so it goes without saying
that these should not be removed!
In order that these customizations can take place, it is
of course necessary for you to be hosting the web pages in the
first place (or to have write access to the pages if you are
not).
One of the special tags available is <include>. This
is used on all standard pages to include a common header and a
common footer on all pages. Thus a simple but wide-ranging
change can be made by editing the files common-head.html and
common-foot.html, to change the overall 'theme' of the pages
in a consistent way.
