Description Biep 2010-12-23 13:47:58 UTC
If I want to present various documents in the same way, I can use the same style sheet.  If I want them to have the same behaviour, I can link in the same script.

But I also sometimes want to present the same data in different ways, and I cannot link the same body into various HTML pages.  I really should like to be able to.

This would give the data the same status as the style and the behaviour, which I think is good on a more abstract level as well.

Greetings,
Biep.

P.S.: An example of where I have the same data shown in different ways is in the download file on http://bibliotheek.biep.org, but unfortunately that is all in Dutch.
