Website folders provide a convenient way to create and manage a miniature website inside BSCW. Apart from the HTML documents (“pages”) making up the contents of the website, a website folder has two special documents: the home page that is shown when you click on a website folder’s icon or name, and the layout page that serves as the standard framework for all other HTML documents of the website folder, thus ensuring a consistent layout of all pages in a website folder.
Additionally, website folders have a built-in element
system with a Wiki-like [element …] syntax, allowing
you to include BSCW system features into the pages of a website folder, e.g. a
page’s last modification date, links for editing the page, a display of the page
history or even whole action menus.
