Querying capabilities

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Yes, you can, Although I don't have examples.

Your web interface will simply provide a list of layers available to be
queried, such that the user can click a check box for instance.

The "NAME" for this parameter will be "qlayers" (Layers to be queried).

And yes you can specify a template for each, and then use the head and
footer to surround the whole thing (I.e. the HTML/BODY tags for example).

Hope this helps,
