Introduction
LiveSite for Portal is intended for use in a portal application. It assembles TeamSite content
into a Web user interface with a single point of entry.
LiveSite for Portal takes content authored in TeamSite and rendered by LiveSite Display
Services (LSDS) and delivers it as HTML into Web portlets (areas in a portal application that
display content from external applications).
