I am trying to understand how it works, but it looks like they have a few bugs on \
their site: I looked at their example page, and found that the links to source and \
output source, and get konqueror and firefox generating a cyclic link error (nice \
catch not done in IE last I looked). So it is hard to understand what they do \
exactly, but it looks like they take  input wml files and convert them to various \
html files that are served by their engine based on language or other \
parameters....An interesting concept, but I would think that the speed advantages \
over php would be offset by the documentation on PHP...

Your menu.php file that you include ( <?php include ("menu.php") ?>) would contain \
something like:

function getTitle($page)
{
 // code to get page title... left to reader to do :-)
}

echo '<div class="menu">'; // start menu
foreach(glob("*.m.html" as $thispage) // get menu items (menu items all end with \
.m.html - this way you only include items you want eg: index.m.html is a menu item, \
ccverify.html is not) {
  echo '<div class="menuItem"><a \
href="'.$thispage.'">'.getTitle($thispage).'</a></div>'; // outputs the menu item }
echo '</div>'; // closes the menu
and some pretty css that gets included to render the menuItems nicely with effects \
(no javascript needed for mouse over effects using css)

Oh, well there goes that... :-(
you should be able to do something similar in perl.

or move to a provider that has php support :-P
