Hi there,

I use Trac and often commit my code doxygenized.
As the default time-stamped footer is copied on each webpage, all the webpages have to be commited as soon as a change is made on one of them, which can be quite long.
How about implementing the possibility to use some iframed header and footer?
This way only the file(s) modified and the footer (header) would need to be commited.

I made successful tests moving the customizable parts of header.html and footer.html to header_.html and footer_.html by sandwiching them between

<html><body><head><link href="customdoxygen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/></head>

and

</body></html>

and replacing them in header.html and footer.html by

<iframe src="header_.html" width="100%" height="80px" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

and

<iframe src="footer_.html" width="100%" height="30px" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

respectively.

Cheers,
Mathieu
