[TYPO3-english] Alternative page rendering using tx_templavoila_pi1->main_record

Thanks a lot for your help, but that is not exactly what I try to  
achieve. In your example, all parts of the former HTML-file are still  
present. I try to extract only the contentpart, e.g. everything inside  
<div id="content">.

In my approach I try to override to normal page rendering with the  
special method tx_templavoila_pi1->main_record, which should fulfill  
exactly this requirement. In the end main_record() just prepare the  
data, the method renderElement render each single content element.  
Everything seems to be fine, but the method $this->markupObj- 
 >mergeFormDataIntoTemplateStructure() returns nothing (empty value).

Best regards,
Andre
