Within Joomla! templates you can use so-called <jdoc>-tags to indicate where in your HTML-document dynamic content should be inserted. For instance there is a tag of type "modules" that inserts the output of one or more modules in the template. But there is also a <jdoc>-type "module" (not plural but singular) and little is explained on this type. This article reveals the bits.

While upgrading an old Joomla! 1.0 template to the newer Joomla! 1.5 standard it is important to edit the files "index.php" and "templateDetails.xml". The most important change is the migraton of old PHP-code to XML-tags called "jdoc" tags but there are other things to think about as well.
