25 <p><span class="s1"><span class="w1">Philo</span> is a powerful content-management system built with <a href="https://djangoproject.com/">Django</a>.</span> It manages websites, simple and complex.</p>
28 <section id="featuresSection">
30 <h2 id="features">Features</h2>
33 <p>Philo allows the creation of complex site structures from Django’s own <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/contrib/admin/">admin interface</a> (or similar database interface). For a simple site, you will use the following three objects, included in the <span class="pname">Philo</span> core.</p>
36 <li><span class="name">Nodes</span> are the basic building blocks of a website using <span class="pname">Philo</span>. They define the URL hierarchy and connect each URL to a View subclass instance, such as a Page.</li>
37 <li><span class="name">Templates</span> are Django templates, stored in the database and editable from the Django admin (or similar).</li>
38 <li><span class="name">Pages</span> are a simple view subclass which return a basic HTML page according to a template. They have related, editable Contentlets and Content References based on <code>{% container %}</code> tags used in the template.</li>
41 <p><span class="pname">Philo</span> also provides a number of useful template tags, in particular <code>{% container %}</code>, which generates a relationship (and a field in the admin interface) on any pages which use that template. For more about <span class="pname">Philo</span> and its features, <a href="#documentation">read the documentation</a>.</p>
