I already extended the tab system to have two layers of tabs, now I am 
outgrowing that. But the main thing is that I need to provide different 
courses for different institutions. I teach at three different places. 
Not all of them have the same courses, so I really need different sites.

I do have a tab for each site, and the second layer gives the 
subsections of that site. However, this doesn't enable me to build a 
version of the version of the main site without one of the sub sites. To 
do that I need to comment out the references to it in the site.xml 8and* 
the tabs.xml file.

We're here to help, post your specific problems and I'm sure we can 
help. After all we use FOP extensively and it is a real bonus for my 
work. I promise to respond to your mails if I can help.
