There's in fact plenty of different ways to do this sort of thing. Some more practical than others. (I once, a long time ago, wrote a website using server-side includes to implement a templating system, using 'lynx -dump' to get apache to process the source files.) Probably the official way to do this sort of thing is to use a macro pre-processor. cpp(1) has often been used, but it is pretty C specific. m4(1) is the general purpose solution but it's got a lot of capabilities and is intimidating to the beginner: % cat foo This is the included text % cat bar Some stuff Some more stuff include(`foo') A last chunk of stuff % m4 < bar Some stuff Some more stuff This is the included text A last chunk of stuff Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK
