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.
