Basically, what Tarjei said is the right idea. You just have to keep in
mind that both style and page-code can call _both_ style and page
elements. It uses the same syntax and therefore it stays transparent.
Another common solution is something like this:
HTML-BODY Style Element:
---
<h3><[page-title]></h3>
<[style-separator]>
<adress><[page-location]></adress>
<[style-table-header]>
<(content)>
<[style-table-footer]>
---
The style-* elements come from the style tree, whereas the page-*
elements come from the page tree. This is a good way to keep style and
code in two separate points.
Further on: If you have two different types of contents to display, let's
say regular articles and a newsticker overview, you can use some schema
like this:
In the page content do a
---
if ($article)
{
$view = mgd_get_article($articleid)
?> <[style-show-article]> <?
} else if ($newsticker)
{
$viewlist = mgd_list_topic_articles($newtopicid)
?> <[style-newsticker-begin]> <?
while ($viewlist->fetch())
{
$view = mgd_get_article($viewlist->id);
?> <[style-newsticker-element]> <?
}
?> <[style-newsticker-end]> <?
}
---
Where all elements called here reside in the style tree and contain only
output logic. Mostly, they will look like this:
---
<h3>&(view.title);</h3>
<p class="abstract">&(view.abstract);</p>
<div class="content">&(view.content);</div>
---
Note that the defined global variables will stay in scope when you enter
the style element.
Live long and prosper!
