I like the format of the Wikipedia and was thinking of doing something similar with the design of it.

But before I attempt to create CSS and/XHTML that results in a similar format I thought I'd ask if anyone here knows of a script that will give me the style of it.

Now I am NOT for a wiki or any of the functions of a wiki. I am looking for the layout only similar to the Wikipedia, not the functions of a wiki

Thanks

um... if you just view the source of a wikipedia page, as well as download the images and css you should get the "format" of the page without the features, since you aren't using php...

Good idea! Let's go to a website, and download there layout! Totally legal and fresh. -.-

Yeah... No, don't do that.

if you just go to mediawiki.org you can download it for free, and once you set up a running copy on your server, you can then view the source of the pages and save them as html templates :)
