Modify default HTML template

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi there,

I dropped my web programming back in 2001 and as such
haven't done much since then but I'm getting back into it
know. As such, a lot has changed with xhtml, xml, asp,
php etc...

I'm going to start using Frontpage to organize my site
layout and do hyperlink testing but here's my question.

I don't like the default HTML that Frontpage creates when
you make a new page. It makes:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

but I want to switch out/add some additional tags to make
my template:

<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="FILE NAME
GOES HERE" />
<title>Index Page</title>
</head>

Is there anywhere in Frontpage where I can modify the
template? Another quick question as well, is the code
that Frontpage generates either HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.1
strict (as in it follows W3C guidelines)? Thanks.
