I don't know how other people do it, but my approach was to create a
header component and a footer component and include those. So it's kind of
the opposite approach.
Then I simply define variables for page-specific stuff in the class that
I'm rendering (e.g. for ListManuscripts, the title is set to "List
Manuscripts").
The header simply prints that variable. It does harf if it's not set,
though.
Anyhow, if you'd like some sample code, I'd be happy to send some along.
