Please... do not add Dreamweaver-like template functionality. Spend that time on more relevant and important features.

The local include functionality could be enought.
The only imporovement could be a kind of syncronization when an include is modified.
So if I have a big static site, I'll have all the files with a particular include updated, when that include changes. Otherwise I have to open each file and save it.

renato, you get 20 bonus points for using the search engine. :)

why not switch to a simple template system in php? it's really very very clean and simple and will allow you to do what you're looking for. literally, it's two lines of php for most templating systems: one to include the header, one to include the footer.

ok, that's a little bit of a stretch, but only a little. perhaps 2 or 3 more lines on each page so that you can dynamically set the page title and meta info.

here's the write up I learned it from: http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2005/ ... ple_templ/

The other benefit of this is that it's not tied at all to an editor. Not that you'd ever ever ever use anything other than Blumentals but some of your less enlightened colleagues might. ;)
