Unfortunately there is no static part.  These articles are used, appended, and 
updated quite frequently.  Unfortunately we have to go into a HTML editor to 
do this, and the process isn't terribly intuitive.  We would like to port to a 
more user-friendly system to make editing these articles easier.
