I don't think that's off-topic actually--one of the fundamental joys
of Mason IMO is the component/template call structure that allows
header and footer elements to remain in one file. It has many
advantages over a simple include/concatenate approach, but in
particular there's almost never any need to have the opening tag of
an element in a different file from the closing tag, which is the
source of a lot of subtle bugs (and many if not most non-valid pages
on the web). I'd suggest trying an autohandler like the following:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<& head_header &> <!-- anything from the old header that
lives in HEAD -->
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<& body_header &> <!-- anything from the old header that
lives in BODY -->
% $m->call_next;
<& footer &> <!-- old footer minus the closing /BODY and /
HTML tags -->
</BODY>
</HTML>
Each of these components will be simpler and easier to maintain/
extend/reuse, e.g. if you want to wrap the whole body in a new DIV
you simply add the start and end tags in the obvious place in the
autohandler, you don't have to touch the header or footer.
