Finally getting some work done after a few days of spinning my wheels. There are now two new features in [editpage]. The first is a checkbox labeld "turn on page includes?". Probably it is not understandable at this point, but if you check this box, then on the page (either inside a post, or inside the left-text box on [editpage]) you can enter a string like this:
[*pageinclude=/jim/weblog*]
And that whole string will be replaced with the entire contents of the page at /jim/weblog
Obviously, you could put any valid path in place of /jim/weblog.
This has a number of uses, many of which don't apply to our set up here. But who knows, maybe someone can think of a use for this. I'm using it already on some private pages (I'm building an address book for myself.) I'll write more about this later.
The second new feature on [editpage] is a request from Dave. He always has the same bits of html in every post (a headline, a blockquote, a link) and he doesn't want to type that stuff in every time. So now there is another textarea box on [editpage], this one labeled "posting template". Anything you put in this box will show up in the textarea box on [post] for all posts to that page. Again, maybe not useful for everyone, but could be handy if there is a standard way you make each post on a page.
More stuff coming, including a request from Alex to be able to choose a default on/off for the convert line breaks as well as a default template for creating new pages (font, colors, etc...)
