[opencms-dev] convert xmlpage to custom resource type

Tue Aug 30 22:25:01 CEST 2005

control code is very different. Original (5.0) version has
<element name="body"> tags, whereas by custom type has <Body
name="Body0"> style tags. it seems to append a "0" at the end of all the
names. 

hmm... how would i use the API to resolve this?
