Hi!

I am looking for a freeware/shareware *client-side* preprocessor for
HTML.

I know things like PHP exist for doing "web applications" by dynamically
generating HTML from templates and commands, but that is *not* what I
want.

I *do* want a program I can run on my own computer that will process
HTML and handle tasks like including HTML snippets from an include file.
For example, I'd like something that will read

<include file="snippet.html"/>

and stuff the contents of snippet.html into the place where the tag is,
outputting a new HTML file.

Ideally, this program could be used as a Ant filter.

If you know something like this, respond with a pointer. Such a thing
isn't really that hard to program. Before I get into making my own tool,
though, I want to see what's out there.

Joe
