Hi,
Thanks for Jeni and Mike's suggestions on different variable values.
Yeah, the code I had (based on Jeni's code) generating the pages all at
once, so it was not straight-forward to apply multiple variables. I
eventually used Mike's suggestion of parameter passing to templates to
resolve the problem I had.
Thank you both for the suggestions :)
