Note: I have not replied to your earlier mail because my recommendation
is the dispatcher (once again). Since as soon as I mention this on @user
we start to point out that is not ready for production so I just stop to
mention it on this list. The dispatcher is dev stuff so all questions
regarding it should be directed to dev@f.a.o. It is not a user topic
since only "devs" are using the dispatcher.=20

does it has to be *in* the xdocs? Or is it that is coming just
afterward? Is it xdocs itself, if so did you try a "simple" cinclude on
the xdocs (before skining)?

What is this meta data can you give an example?

That sounds like you want to include another language in the content,
right?=20

What do you mean?

If you mean the dispatcher, then yes one can say it is following the
model-view-controller (mvc) pattern, but the dispatcher !=3D skins.

Yes, that is why I started the work on the dispatcher aka views. Here
you can easily define custom business services that you can include and
process in your output.

link is xdocs < 2.0 and in =3D>2.0  it is <a/>.

Seems you need to configure your editor that @class does not get
stripped. Try with "vi", that will not strip it. ;-)

Hmm, I have just tested it on the lenya docu and it is working like a
charm.
