Basic ideology is that by inserting <(element)> to your HTML
Midgard will include style (or page) element with the same
name on that spot.

There are few special elements:
<(content)> will insert the actual page content on this spot.
<(code-compat)>, <(code-global)> and <(code-init)> are called
before the style is loaded and can be used to preload classes,
variables, etc. before the style or page are loaded.
<(code-finish)> is loaded after style and page are finished.

So, when you are calling <(login)>, you must make sure you
have element with that name available. In general, style elements
are available on any page having that style while page elements
are available only to page it attached to or subpages (if inherit
is set in the element).

To try this out create a style with few elements. Then create
a page and set it to use the style you created and look for the outcome.
Oh, BTW, if element is not available Midgard won't return anything
(not even error)!

Look the following address for some information on special elements:
http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/concepts/page_and_style/

Hope this gets you started. :)

Cheers!

~  //Henri
