HTMPL is a set of scripts which allow users who may be unfamiliar with HTML to add, remove, and edit pages with a simple web-based interface. The user can autonamously add text, graphics, links, and even flash movies to pages!

HTMPL allows web designers/ programmers to concentrate on the more technical aspects of maintaining a web site, instead of spending their time updating web pages. The person(s) responsible for implementing HTMPL simply create a template and the user can make an arbitrary number of web pages using this template.

What's new in 1.11 version?

• New design of script's interface by Sergey Grishin.
• Improved algorithm of page regeneration process. Not only surrounding disign is updated during regeneration, layout of nests is affected too. This means that if you want, for example, to change font color for user input for all exisiting page, you can do that by changing appropriate nest's configuration and regenerating pages depending on this nest.
• It is possible to supply template icons for templates by storing small images of templates in icaon directory. See cnf.pl.

What's new in 0.7 version?

• <nob></nob> pseudo tags is used for preventing full or part of text block from being added with <br> at the end of lines. For example, user may want to make part of design in Front Page and then copy-paste it into text. In this case he should enclose it with <nob></nob> , otherwise design can be deformed because of <br> which HTMPL by default put at every line break.
• A number of small bugs is fixed.
