Well, that's entirely possible.  What do you mean by "Anything outside
of a metal:fill-slot can't be edited." ?  Do you mean can't be edited
with WebDAV, or can't be edited and expected to have any effect or
something else?

I could be wrong, but my expectation with WebDAV is that I should be
able to edit anything I can get to with the web management interface
(aside from thing like properties and other non-file-like features).

Here's what my template looks like (this is the current cumulative
result of several hours of experimenting and reading, so things might be
a little off):

<html metal:define-macro=3D"page">
<head>
  <title tal:content=3D"python:path('template/title') or path('here/title')=
 or path('container/title')">
      The document title or folder title or the example title
  </title>
</head>
<body>

<div metal:define-slot=3D"body">
  <p>Bar bar bar bar bar</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

And then pages using these templates look like:

<html metal:use-macro=3D"container/index_html_tal/macros/page">
  <span metal:fill-slot=3D"body">
    <p>Foo Foo Foo</p>
  </span>
</html>

When I open the file with the "Foo" body in Kate, I actually get the
main template, without any of the stuff from "Foo".
