I've just had a look at the ht2html site and the
http://ht2html.sourceforge.net/components.html page in particular.
This particular solution requires the user to work within a 'roughly' pre-
defined layout and one which is based on tables.
What I would like to do is maintain the existing 'look' of my website. I
use CSS2 for layout purposes (and style of course) and not tables.
In my original posting I think I should've provided the URL of the single
page that I would like to auto regenerate in the future but here it is now:
http://www.geocities.com/scrumpyshangout/freesoft.html
The overall page layout is in CSS2 and tables are only used to display each
piece of software's details.
For dynamic websites I create in the future, I want to make use of various
methods to ease maintenance, including looking at templating solutions as
you suggested.
I hope my initial request for help with automating my existing site now
makes more sense :)
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers,
Scrumpy :)
