Oh, the ordered folder stuff?

Interesting - although I can understand why! I think it would be okay  
to list the documents in a folder pretty much the way things are done  
in "folder_contents" but I'd restrict this to text documents. Just  
wondering how I'd cope with the odd dynamic bits I'd need although  
I'm sure I can get them to work easily enough with Python.

If anyone's interested I'll put the address of the site up here once  
I've installed Zope on the server as that might help with odd issues.

BTW. tips for editors with zero knowledge of HTML? I'm tempted to go  
with StructuredText and control everything through stylesheets rather  
than have worry about what might happen with an editor.
