Certainly has - it's great to see the CVS commits going through...

Ok, now I'm really baffled. I've been staring at your message, and the help
documentation since last night when I received the email.

The code has certainly worked in the past, so I *guess* that's a good thing.

In my standard_look_and_feel, I have the following;

    <div metal:define-slot="main">
     If you supply a tag with a 'fill-slot="main"' attribute
     when using this macro, that tag will replace this text.
This is the main block. It contains everything.
     </div>

And 

<body define-macro="body" ...

So, does that mean I need to change my <div metal:define-slot="main"> to be
<div metal:define-macro="main"> - nope, that didn't work.

The error message says fill-slot must be within a use-macro, but isn't my
<html use-macro ...> enclosing *both* the <body metal:fill-slot="body"> and
<div metal:fill-slot="main"> tags?

I must admit, I'm quite lost on this one. :(
