Re: Different article views

Try this out:

<txp:if_article_list>
	<h3>
		<txp:title />
	</h3>
	<txp:excerpt />
	<p>
		<txp:posted format="%B %d, %Y – %I:%M%p" /> – by <txp:author link="1" />
		<br />
		<txp:permlink>full story</txp:permlink>
	</p>
<txp:else />
	<txp:body />
</txp:if_article_list>

I simplified the HTML a bit, so it’s easier to read. The date format comes from PHP’s strftime function, and txp:author is from the TextBook.
