using template, getting unexpected end-of-file, it also generates many >>>>>>

I like to code manually&  using Dreamweaver for shortcuts.., and doing quite well, thru Grid & Flexbox etc......so hate to give up on it..l wish I knew it was limited this way...glad you told me....

But, starting over in WordPress..uh... One more hill to climb... But,  I will peek at it....thanks for the clue... a lot!  I see so many WordPress mentions ... might be a good direction .... thanks so much for fast reply...Peggy

I open the index.html,

change the # marks (see below) to new file names like drywall.html

I use the template to manage a huge NavBar….8 across, 10 down…like 100 pages.

File =>Save as Template. (in this case I save it as aquamarine_template.

I say YES to updating links.

Make a new file, using this template, it is called untitled.html

I save it as drywall.html

I save the aquamarine_template.dwt.

see the log below...

So half my files get updated,

Half (navbar item 6) do not get updated due to:
