Features
- No database required - Works without a database by default. Of course, a database can be used if desired.
- Decoupled content - Uses content from plain HTML or PHP files—no include statements, no special links and no template-specific hooks.
- Smart page merging - Understands DOCTYPE relationships, identifies unique head-tags, detects id collisions and adjusts output accordingly.
- Content negotiation - Follows best practices to serve web pages in "strict mode" or "compatibility mode" where appropriate.
- Cache header management - Derives appropriate "Last-Modified" and "ETag" headers from resource documents and controller scripts.
- Custom error page support - Supports contextual error page schemes with ease for "File Not Found", "Forbidden", "Internal Server Error", etc.
