Could one of you 'gurus' please tell me how to test fragments of templates. For example, here is some code from you manual... My limited knowledge suggests I'd need a database, a site, and some override templates... but which ones?? I suppose I would run it as a URI on localhost (I've got ez3 installed on my laptop) Forgive my lack of knowledge... but I'm trying...
