[opencms-dev] Positioning/allocating content in CSS box model

[Claus Priisholm]

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to edit the "main" and 
"news" as one, then you should go with the multi-body setup descibed in 
another reply.

If you want the news to come from a different file, then you should 
include that file in the relevant position on the page by means of the 
include tag. When importing from another "page" you may experience 
problems (seeing the contents of the first include repeated where you 
would expect contents from another include - try searching the mailing 
list for include problems)
