Splunk welcome.html modifications...

I've made the following modifications to the welcome.html file in splunk. Basically, I copied a chunk of code from the Sideview application that I'd like modify and use in the welcome.html file. The code I have below is commented fairly well, however it does not work, is it possible to do this? Thanks in advance.

<style>
.welcomediv {
float: left; 
padding-right: 15px;
padding-left: 15px; 
border-right-style: dotted;
border-right-width: 1px;
width: 30%;
}

.intro {
    font-size: 12px;
}

</style>

<div>


<p class="intro">
${_('The Splunk app comes built with some useful out of the inputs, dashboards, custom views, and saved searches. <br/>This app has the following built in functions.')}
</p>
<p>
<strong>${_('Important - all data in the app is by default in its own index named "myapp".')}</strong>

${_('To search for data be sure to include "index=myapp" in your search. ')}<a href="/en-US/app/nc/flashtimeline?q=search%20index%3Dmyapp&earliest=-30d%40d&latest=now"><%doc>TRANS: Link to an example</%doc>${_('example...')}</a>

</p>
<p>
${_('<a href="%s">> Configure Splunk</a>') % make_url('/manager/core')}
</div>

    <ul>

Splunk wont evaluate the module XML when it renders the HTML. So what this will do is just serve the <module> and <param> tags straight out to the browser.

The HTML part of the include can certainly be included reliably, just not the module XML.

side note: I see you're using Sideview Utils already and you may not know that you can give the HTML module a src param instead of its html param. With src you specify the name of a file in etc/apps/<appname>/appserver/static. See docs).

the treatment for code on answers relies on each line being indented by 4 spaces, or text being enclosed in backticks. If you paste a block of text and it includes linebreaks, it'll generally break the code-formatting, even if you were "within" a code block.

I was expecting to embed a side view "Window" within the Welcome.html file. But nothing shows up afterwards. I don't see the window. Out of curiosity, why does the code appear discombobulated? It was copied into the text block. Thanks.
