  • 0

Is there a way to split a single HTML page (purely static, HTML + JS) in VS2010 (I use VS2010 + ReSharper for my HTML /Js coding) into parts, but get / build a single page at build time.

There was such a feature with Dreamweaver (I have used this years back, think it called libraries). If I was using PHP I’d use something like Include at runtime.

My page contains several div sections serving as tabs, only one visible at time. I want to place the code between these tabs in a single file, to make it easier to maintain. But in the end I do need one single, static HTML file. Again, I want to do this a build time, not at server side.

<DIV>
  many lines of HTML
</DIV>

should be replaced by something like

<DIV>
  #include tab1.html
</DIV>

I could write a script building the static page and hook it into VS2010, but is there some extension or function already existing?

— Follow ups on using T4 —

  1. VS2010 – Assign html code formatting to T4 (.tt) file
  2. VS2010 – disable validation for particular html file (not all files)

    I ran across this question while searching for something else. You’ve probably moved on, but what the heck, maybe the answer will help someone else:

    You could get so-called T4 templates to do this:

    Alternately, Microsoft has similar capabilities in Razor, and it’s more specific to HTML.

    Here is a comparison of the two:
