I don't have that much experience with web design, but I've been using gtml, an HTML preprocessor. You run your pages through gtml after building them in your favorite editor, and gtml follows c-preprocessor style directives within the page to do things like including other files into the code. I wonder, is this a standard technique? It seems to have some advantages over PHP includes, in that one doesn't require any special functionality on the server, and that no additional processing is required at serving time. But as I said, I'm something of a novice at this. I wouldn't mind being set straight ...
