I do not really understand this thread but here are my two
Pfennigs. In the Sudelbuch i have all wml and html files in one
directory:
1999/*.wml

But when I compile the wml-file it creates two identically files:
1999/*.html
heute/index.html

heute/index.html is the daily new-file.

I do it with the shebang -o line and LANG-Definitions.

Sometimes there are files of a series. Then I create three
identically files

1999/*.html
heute/index.html
drnj/*.html 

where the files in 1999 and drnj have different navigation-bars.

As you can see heute/index.html will always be new.

On my business-pages I have to navigations. One for Advertising
Agencies and one for Companies. Some files have the same content
but different nav-bars. So there I have one directory for all wml
files
wml/*.wml

and two directories for agencies and companies.

Until now I had only one problem. I found no way to produce files
in different hierarchical levels. For example:

www.sudelbuch.de/1999/19991030.html
and the same file as
www.sudelbuch.de/index.html

There are problems with the pathes, because in the first file there
must be an image "../bilder/image.gif" and in the index-file it must
be "./bilder/image.gif. I worked around with inventing a
heute-directory. The other way: all files in the root-dir.

Perhaps it would be helpful, when the variable $(ROOT) dissolves
in realationship to the target-directory, not in relation to the
source-directory.

Can I "put" with wget?
