The HTML templates

PHPHP makes use of a very simple template system. There are two files that just get stuck before and behind the actual content of the page. Everything else is up to you.

This is being done on puropse: There are a lot of more powerful template systems out there that do much more. But they all take time to learn and get used to. I don't want that. I want quick results for simple web pages. That's all.

• _kopf.html contains placeholders for the HTML header and title definitions, the menu, the configuration of the title image and the main table.

• _fuss.html contains the closing table, the page footer, and (optionally) shameless plugs for the software this page was created with.

The menu

You fill in the data for the menu in inc.php (see next page). You can define the menu style (font, size, etc) via CSS in css.php. You can not yet (without programming) change the layout of the menu. But it is easy to extend for a programmer - just subclass the page class defined in inc_page.php, and overload the menu() function with your own definition (which should read the $this->menu array). The function should return HTML code which fits right in where "MENU" is defined in _kopf.html. Or, if you want the menu to be somewhere else, change the location in _kopf.html accordingly.
