Perhaps we're talking about different things.
At least if $type is 'framed' and $t_mode is undefined, base.html
appears to be spit out as a wrapper around other templates files
(inserted at {{CONTENT}}), with the other templates selected according
to the print_form call in each sub $action. For example,
manage_nameservers.html does not contaon a <head>...</head> or <body>
line, because manage_nameservers is inserted into base.html which
already contains a <head>...</head> and <body>. The manage_nameservers
sub defines parts of %HTML which in turn get passed to sub print_form
which in turn passes them to get_content for translation within the
actual template content for assignment to $content which print_form
then prints.
Clear as mud? Well, *I* didn't write it. ;-)
Anyway, an hour of poking at the code has gotten it working. I don't
know why it wasn't working before.... Must have been a type somewhere.
My screen font is small enough that colons sometimes look like semis.
