[opencms-dev] Writing HTML directly into a vfs file

[M Butcher]

So if I know my content is well formed, etc, etc. and I want to be able
to edit the page at some point, I can/should set the CDATA for both the
TEMPLATE and edittemplate elements, right? Or should I set the
edittemplate element and then run something to generate the contents of
TEMPLATE?

What I'd like to do is be able to automatically generate some content
based on system information, but then allow a user to change it.
