<p>The section describes the layout of the pages created by
MHonArc. Each page's layout is controled by
<a href="resources.html">resources</a>
(see Section <a href="resources.html">Resources</a>). Layout
resources can be changed as you see fit to achieve the
appearence you desire for your mail archives.

<h2><a name="notaion">Notation</a></h2>
<p>To simplify the description of the various pages created
by MHonArc, the following notation is used:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>( )</strong></dt>
<dd>Parentheses denote a <em>group</em> of resources.
</dd>
<dt><strong>?</strong></dt>
<dd>Denotes that preceding resource, or group, is
optional.
</dd>
<dt><strong>*</strong></dt>
<dd>Denotes that preceding resource, or group, can
occur zero or more times.
</dd>
<dt><strong>+</strong></dt>
<dd>Denotes that preceding resource, or group, can
occur one or more times.
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a name="mainidxpg">Main Index Page</a></h2>
<p>The main index is normally the default index of an
archive. The main index list messages by date,
subject, author, or message number.
Since date listing is the default, the
main index is commonly referred to as the date index.
</p>
<h3><a name="mainidxlayout">Main index page resource layout</a></h3>
<pre>
<a href="resources/idxpgbegin.html"><b>IDXPGBEGIN</b></a>
<a href="resources/header.html"><b>HEADER</b></a>
<a href="resources/listbegin.html"><b>LISTBEGIN</b></a>

<a href="resources/doc.html"><b>DOC</b></a><b>?</b>
<a href="resources/idxpgend.html"><b>IDXPGEND</b></a>
</pre>
<p>Main index pages also contain comment declarations. Some of the
comment declarations are vital markers to allow MHonArc
to properly edit the index during archive updates.
</p>
<!-- ******************************************************************** -->

<h2><a name="threadidxpg">Thread Index Page</a></h2>
<p>The thread index list messages by thread. Threads
are based upon <em>In-Reply-To</em> and <em>References</em> fields of
messages and by same <em>Subject</em>s.
</p>
<p>The layout of a thread index page is more complicated
than the main index layout since threading is more
complex.
Also, MHonArc tries to provide the greatest
flexibility for customizing thread listing layout.
</p>
<h3><a name="tidxlayout">Thread index page resource layout</a></h3>
<pre>
<a href="resources/tidxpgbegin.html"><b>TIDXPGBEGIN</b></a>

<a href="resources/tidxpgend.html"><b>TIDXPGEND</b></a>
</pre>
<p>If the previous is not confusing enough, there are four other resources
for controlling the thread index page layout:
<a href="resources/tcontbegin.html">TCONTBEGIN</a>,
<a href="resources/tcontend.html">TCONTEND</a>,
<a href="resources/tindentbegin.html">TINDENTBEGIN</a>,
<a href="resources/tindentend.html">TINDENTEND</a>.
If the <a href="resources/multipg.html">multiple page resource</a> is
set, it is possible that a thread can span more than one page. These
resources are used to restart a thread that has been clipped due to
a page boundary.
</p>

<h2><a name="msgpg">Message Page</a></h2>
<p>The message page contains a single message converted
to HTML and archive navigational links.

<p>Message pages also contain comment declarations. Some of the
comment declarations are vital markers to allow MHonArc
to properly edit the message when needed during updates.
