Question

Does anyone know of a utility for ****ahem**** stringing together static pages.

For instance:
Say I wrote a header and a footer of a page, and I only wanted to change the content without ****sigh**** dynamically generating the content of the page. (I.E. the page is dynamically generated, but the end result is just a static page to be dumped into an FTP directory.)

I don’t normally endorse doing this sort of thing without something like Tiles or serverside includes on a webserver, but unfortunately my employer __does…__they have use static pages and there’s nothing I can do to change their minds. (C++ Programmers)

The closest thing to what I am describing here that I have found would be a utility called cook that’s used to build tiddlywiki.

Right, so a utility that can take a directory of:

• Static Page Parts
  • Header.htm
  • Footer.htm
• Parts that Change
  • about.htm
  • info.htm
  • products.htm
  • etc.htm

And change it into:

• Site Build
  • about.htm (with header and footer as well as content of /Parts that Change/about.htm) in between
  • info.htm (same bit…)
  • products.htm (same bit…)
  • etc.htm (same bit…)

Sounds like a job for Webby.
