The thing I noted as David's really interesting point was about how linking is done - it is possible to have "natural linking in the flow" when content is stored in a database, but many tools don't lend themselves to doing that very readily, unfortunately. Still, many tools is not all tools, and there are some good things out there, and good ways of handling content. cheers Charles On Thu, 5 Jul 2001, Pat Byrne wrote: David, It is possible to have the best of both worlds. Store the all the bits of your site in a content management systems, all in standard HTML (because your content management system can link up with other HTML generation programs or text editors), publish pages to a static server or generate them dynamically.
