<!--footer-->
DESCRIPTION
Straight from the Eagle book, with a couple minor additions.
Looks for <!--header--> <!--start--> <!--footer-->
in your html code. The idea is to put as much into the config files,
leaving only content for each html page. This makes it very simple for
users to update content without digging through javascript, tables & navigation
code. A sample nav.conf, header, and footer is included in the distribution.
Taylor these to your website.
This can also be acheived through server side includes, but you won't
have the nice highlight effect.
