Hey!
I have been doing alot of web dev recently with myBB.
I have noticed these HTML tags like this: {header}. That would basicly insert some code from an external HTML file. How is this done?
Thanks!

Are you talking about CSS and html? You can use the {} in html to define style elements to your page? But its better to do it in CSS files.

Yeah HTML and CSS.
Is there anyway to have all the elements of my website in seperate HTML files?
For example: I dont want to have to make 1 update to my header on one page then have to do all the other pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

That's not part of HTML but of some sort of template language - probably used within some sort of CMS or Web framework. I don't know which one that is though. Examples would be Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, CakePHP.

If by updates you mean the color of the text, font family, size, borders etc then you can just put these definitions in a CSS file and then you only have to update the CSS file to change all HTML pages that use that CSS file.

I mean like HTML and what not. Sounds like Il have to use a templating framework.
One of my sites consists of over 30 files, so its quite tedious to update the design if needed :lol:

You can use client-side include with an iframe, which is best placed within a div for styling, or a server-side include if your server supports it.
