in reply to Online help system

Addendum: The other reason for pursuing something like this (I feel) is rather simple: I could just write a number of static HTML pages with the desired formatting, but I'm trying to eliminate a lot redundant maintenance chores (for example, should we decide to change the look and feel of this site at a later date, I'd prefer not to have to change 50 separate HTML files).

Sorry for not including that in the original post ;)

    Without knowing what your pages look like, it seems that you might be able to use server-side includes. Just define header/footer files with your standard "look and feel" and tell your users to put SSI include tags for those files at the top and bottom of their content.

    That way, if you want to change your 'look and feel,' you only have to change the files that get included.
