Text Pattern Solutions
Hi there,
I’m loving this book; it’s really motivated me to buckle down and learn TXP! Maybe I fully missed something in it; I’m following along in the development of the Buzz Bomb site. I d’loaded the files from the FofEd website. (I located the missing images in this forum).
Anyone who’s read or is reading the book: Chapter 8 keeps referencing the ‘prototype’ html to use for the site. Is this a file that should have been included in the downloads? Or is this file one that the reader is expected to write? I don’t want to waste a lot of time starting from scratch and not using tags that aren’t referenced elsewhere in TXP; will if I have to, of course …
Any pointers or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your help!

Re: Text Pattern Solutions
I believe its found on page 194 but i quickly (so hopefully correctly) replicated it here as a copy-and-paste-ready version of it. just refer to the same page to get a more complete picture as to where your reusable static, and dynamic list/article content areas are.

Re: Text Pattern Solutions
iblastoff,
Thanks so much for your quick response — and your heads up on the other caveats! I just stopped looking in the book too quickly, I guess; it is right there two pages further along. I apologize for my impatience — not fully impatient, though. THis book has me very excited about my possibility for finally learning a standards compliant cms. I’ve looked at, and been mostly overwhelmed by a host of cmss over the past year — I’m a designer, not a coder. I kept thinking I’d learn the code I need to learn but, when push came to shove, it just wasn’t my cup o’ tea! The past couple of weeks with TXP has given me new hope that I’ve found something even a non-geek (not that you coders out there are geeks in any objective sense — just relative to me :-))
Again, thanks for taking the time to write out that html.
