This is something that I'd like to see. I use php includes to make basic 
templates, which is great. The trouble is that when you're writing a page 
based on one of these templates Quanta doesn't take into account the rest of 
the template structure (which is in other php files).
Would be nice if Quanta pulled in the code from the includes, perhaps even 
greyed out the code or whatever. Would make validation easier too.

I appreciate this isn't quite as easy as it sounds because of php's less than 
simple include file system. Would be dead easy in ASP cos if a file's 
included, it's included - simple as. Php, of course, can have conditional 
includes for a start. Without turning Quanta into a php parser, perhaps 
there's a way to incorporate "simple" include file parsing (with the option 
to turn it off!)

On another note, but a similar subject, does Quanta pull in class and id rules 
from external CSS files yet? :) Would love to see Quanta offering all my 
classes in an autocomplete box whenever I type '<img class="  ' or 
whatever :)

Keep up the great work guys!
