Not sure where you can get information on container, but I find it very valuable. Specifically, you can have a multi-page template, where each container is one page. You just put all of the items inside a container. Then access it as /container/item or container.item instead of just item.

<container name="container" combination="and">
<item name="item" rowcontinue="t">
<text required="t" maxlength="40" size="10"/>
</item>
</container>

Then in templating.cfg:

<data-type name="whatever" dcr-type="iwov" items-per-page="1">

Not sure what else you would use it for.

I did find a small blurb in the Teamsite Templating Developer's Guide but it only lists it as a sub-element of the replicant. THe confusing thing is that the guide also shows the use of the container tag by itself, not used in a replicant?????

well, in its behaviour container is a replicant min=1 max=1.

I believe it was concieved for templating in 4.5, when IWOV came up with Java GUI. The container will still look pretty nicely if one uses java GUI - a box around a set of items

there is not really much to read about it. it is accessed exactly as a replicant
