<p>MHonArc has several resources for customizing
thread page layout. Therefore the following shows a way to
customize the layout using the various thread resource
The thread index is setup where a thread will have the subject
in bold at the top of the thread and the names of the authors
of the messages in the thread will be hyperlinked to the
actual message. Nested unordered lists are used to provide a
visual cue of the depths of the thread.
Unique messages are show in normal text.
<!-- TTOPBEGIN is the markup for the beginning of a thread, and the
first message in a thread.
<li
><a
<a href=
"#A_NAME">$A_NAME$
</a>><strong
><a href=
"#SUBJECTNA">$SUBJECTNA$

"ttopend.html">TTOPEND
</a> is the markup for closing a main thread.

<p>An item to note is how the example includes the proper resource
variables,

<tt>$A_ATTR$

index hyperlinks in messages to behave properly.
