#2 HTML string keeps showing up
The HTML string "<HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma"
CONTENT="no-cache"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires"
CONTENT="-1"></HEAD>" keeps showing up at both the
bottom and the top of various pages in the site, such
as main.html (view the source). This is screwing
things up for me. :-)
Please fix this!

This is indeed a bug, but not mine :) See
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q222/0/64.
ASP which shows that without this construction Nographer
will not work properly in some versions of IE.
Can you give more details of how this is screwing things
up? Maybe we can work around it.

It was causing problems because the string...
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
...should indeed be included between the <head> and </head> tags. But the string, complete with its own
<head> and </head> tags is being included at the top and bottom of all the pages, as opposed to being
inserted into the appropriate place on the page. That is, every page should indeed have this string, but
should only have one occurrance of the <head> and </head> tags, which should be towards the top of the
page Whatever the first instance of the head tags is on page wil be counted as the main instance. So if
you're including it for a total of three times on a page (at the top, at the proper point, and at the bottom),
then only the top one gets read and the rest get ignored.
However, the only reason I noticed this and thought it was a bug was because of the CSS issue. I was
trying to include a call to a CSS stylesheet into the theme I was making. This is done between the <head>
and </head> tags on a page. But because every page already had a head section, the browser would read
that one first, and not the one I had written, so my call to the CSS file was being ignored.
In any case, this should be fixed now that you say that you're adding CSS support to Nographer, so I guess
it's a totally moot issue now, but I just wanted to explain. :-)
