The __style.css.tpl__ file is the CSS bit that is embedded in + all pages of the site. At present there is no way to get a different look and feel for + different categories or parts of the site. + +* The file __stringbits.txt__ contain general strings that are used to describe parts of + your website. This can also be customized, but each line stands for a particular item + and should not be interchanged. Ensure that changes to a particular line describe the + same item (in a different way). For example the text `List of Articles` may be substituted + by `List of Docs` or `Documents` but changing it to `Categories` will not make sense. + +* The generated website from the default template should conform to HTML 5. If there are + any errors in the resultant HTML, please raise an + [issue](https://gitlab.com/harishankarv/biaweb2/-/issues/new) to + address it and it will be fixed. In general, please raise an issue for any bugs, + feedback or feature requests. However, as far as features are concerned, there is no + plan to make this a comprehensive website management tool. The key philosophy of this + tool is simplicity and I plan to keep it that way. + +* __Limitation of RSS Feed:__ At present the RSS feed generated by the script in + __feed.xml__ does not fetch any articles from sub-categories and only fetches articles from' + its own category. This may be addressed in the future, depending on whether this is seen + as necessary. \ No newline at end of file
