How's that for obfuscating the answer?It's totally clear, and I'm not being sarcastic here, either. I just didn't want to have the same 'guts' in several different template files, because then when I need to change it, I would have to make the same changes to *all* those separate files.Your suggestion is the most practical way for me to proceed, because all I need is one 'guts' file, and then I can [include] it in all the different results templates.
