Maybe you should tryout www.webmacro.org. I think you can create
presentation templates with placeholders
which can then be substituted by values from a database? Is there anyone
who has used webmacro? I think
from what I read of a it a while ago, it helps you accomplish that.
Let me know if you try it out and it works..
Thanks
