DWT within a DWT in Web Expression 4?

[ItsOrreeeco]

Is it possible to create a DWT and build another DWT with in that one? For example if I create main_template.dwt and want to create another DWT called main_template2.dwt, is it possible that when I make the changes to the uneditable regions in main_template.dwt, will it make changes to main_template2.dwt automatically? Or are they 2 separate files? I guess what I'm asking is: is it possible to link those two dwts together?

The short answer is YES :)

I frequently use 'nested templates' as a base.

For example: I may want headers and footers and the basic page layout shell to be update-able via 1 file. then I create templates from that for each section of a site.

It is a little tricky to get right the first few times - but the results are definitely worth it IMO.

You can find examples and tutorials online if you google 'make dreamweaver nested template'.

If you have problems - post back here.
Good luck!
