[Typo3] How does typeNum work?

[Bill Stoltz]

I must not be asking the right questions.  I don't seem to understand 
how these different page types work.

I think I understand type=0. routines get the content from the DB and it 
gets placed in certain sections of the HTML based on things like 
"DOCUMENT BODY" or MENU 1, etc.

But for something like WAP, it seems to make a call to get all content, 
but it does not get displayed. I assume there is a filter to remove 
images or other things, but it looks like all content elements are 
getting removed.  I briefly looked at the script in 
media/scripts/wapversionLib.inc  but I must be missing something.

Can anyone explain how this works, or point me to the functions that are 
help me figure this out?

I am stumped and can't figure out why I don't see the content for my wap 
pages, when it works fine for normal pages.
Here is the TS I am using....


        Constants

plugin.alt.wap *>*

plugin.alt.wap *{*

        Setup
