manilaSuite.staticRendering.patchLocalURLs

Postscript: There were so many bugs in this script, that I eventually abandoned trying to fix it and wrote my own version - which can be found in my public domain root at manilaExtras.patchlocalURLs.

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 manitained in Manila and rendered in 2 versions.

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