manilaSuite.staticRendering.renderHomePage

Manila does not support Scalable Content. This is the ability to render a single content page in multiple formats or to mutiple destinations using templates and the ftpSite parameters; it is a standard feature of the underlying html suite upon which Manila is based.

This patch is one of a series to the static rendering of Manila that restores that ability. One of our clients used that ability to excellent effect in his 2 version Glasgow West End website which is maintained in Manila and rendered in 2 versions.

Manila Managing Editors can use the "ManilaFixer Plugin" to maintain additional templates and ftpSites for their websites.
