Description-en: The Web Preprocessor - a Perl script to preprocess HTML files
WPP is a small Perl script that allows preprocessing of HTML files.
You can define variables, which are abbreviations for longer
constructs, and include common HTML fragments. It's useful for
giving a uniform layout to different HTML pages. It can be used in
cgi-bin programs for automatic generation of pages. With less HTML
code inside them you can make more flexible and readable scripts.
.
WPP provides four separate facilities that you can use as you see
fit: inclusion of text/HTML fragments, variable expansion,
conditional generation, macro expansion.
