  TEXT About AutoSite (for non-compliant clients)
       
       AutoSite is dotcomboom's Visual Basic static site generator. The theory
       goes that you build a page's layout a single time and use that page as
       a template for further pages beyond that, with what actually changes
       page-to-page (title, metadata, text content) being all you need to
       write. This keeps each page consistent, with much less room for error
       and far less effort needed to correct layout glitches.
       
       AutoSite consists of two main parts, the building engine known as
       Apricot, and the optional front-end for managing and editing site
       pages. Variables and conditional text provide further control over the
       rendered page, and as many templates as needed can be used in the case
       of a more complex site. AutoSite is used on many sites featured around
       Somnolescent's network and is extremely powerful and simple to use. As
       of August 2021, AutoSite has gone gold and a full users manual (which
       is mirrored here) is included with the program.
       
       ==== AUTOSITE (LATEST VERSION 1.0 GOLD) ===============================
       AutoSite (formerly AutoSite XL) is the main version of the program,
       written in Visual Basic .NET and Winforms. It should run well on very
       old PCs (Windows 98 or later on any Pentium-class machine) and under
       Wine. A command-line version named AutoSite Core that you can invoke
       from a script is included. See the linked manual for further details.

       ==== AUTOSITE LEGACY (LATEST VERSION 1.4) =============================
       AutoSite Legacy is written in Python and thus will run natively cross-
       platform. Recent (~2024) updates have brought it up to feature parity
       with main AutoSite and its Apricot building engine.

       ==== AUTOSITE '98 (LATEST VERSION 1999.12) ============================
       The static site generator of the next millennium! Written by Bulb
       Microcomputer Software Inc. in Visual Basic 6, many of the creature
       comforts of later versions of AutoSite, like multiple template support,
       were not yet introduced, so caution when using it.
