Frameset Template definition

A frameset template may not satisfy Manila's requirements for a valid template because the bodytext, editorialmenu and navigationlinks pseudo-macros can only appear in the noframes content. Using noframes is recommended but not mandatory, if you wish to omit the noframes content, you need to uncheck the Validate Template checkbox in the manilaFixer Templates page

pic_TemplateFrameset:

Here's the template. Notice

The noframes content contains the pseudo macros, so the template validates.
The escape character is used to cause evaluation of macros within the frame tags.
The use of the manilaExtras.shortcutURL macro, to convert a shortcut to the url needed in the frame tag.
The frame called Sites has no src attribute, the links will have a target value to force use of this frame.
