Thanks Lawrence & Ken. So let me follow up with another question: for someone fairly new to Frontier, is it easier to hack the Manila code or generate pages from scratch?

I must find a way to display metaData on Manila pages. Since I can't embed metaData macros within Manila templates (except in some cases such as the Prefs-Dicsussion Group-Single Message Appearance-Message template) I have the choice of (a) reverse-engineering Manila's template processing and trying to enable macros in other templates, or (b) creating all-new non-template pages.

Which do you recommend for someone new to Frontier but with good general programming skills? Thanks.
