Here is what I am recommending, after making the necessary changes to httpd.conf. * Create the new files with .shtml extensions. * Make a list of .html files that can be removed. I will remove them and replace them with symlinks to the .shtml files. I checked whether we could just make somefile.html a symlink to somefile.shtml and have Apache process requests for somefile.html through SSI, and it won't do it. So the modifications I've made to httpd.conf will redirect HTTP requests for *.html to *.shtml as necessary, and the symlinks will allow Lynx to follow internal, file://localhost/... links that haven't been updated to point to the new file. Eventually all internal documents pointing to a file will be updated to point to .shtml, and we can remove the symlink. Does all this sound right? > As I mentioned to Michael in a previous note, the shtml template has some > things hardcoded into the sub-sections that need to be changed for each > document by the editor. I think there is one optional <title> tag for Lynx in file://localhost/... mode, and the navigation line (Home >> wherever) that need to be updated in each file. > The coloring, font styples and sizes are also different that the html > template. The only problem with the template was one font size, which has been fixed.
