[ale] "includes" in html

[Les Neste]

I have to stick in one more plug for the pre-runtime compilation method.
Recognizing that PHP is easy to learn and use, free, and widely available
on many web hosting solutions, I still use compilation prior to putting up
static HTML pages on the server for the following reasons:

- most of my site is a portfolio / project list, and I often want to put it
on a CD-ROM or display it from a system with no live net connection and no
PHP server
- I still like the idea of minimizing server load at run-time by not
requiring that every page be interpreted
- I've gotten used my own set of XML-like tags (here's the banner, here's
the top nav bar, etc) that I include in my HTML source so I can recompile
them as needed with a few simple Perl scripts to produce final static HTML.

I also think PHP rocks and is a great tool for DB-driven sites.

YMMV.
