PPWIZARD - HTML Preprocessor

PPWIZARD - HTML Preprocessor is an easy to use , powerful , free and useful multiplatform html preprocessor.
PPWIZARD is more powerful than virtually any other preprocessor available and unlike many others remains simple to use (no complicated syntax); its replacement syntax is HTML like.PPWIZARD can be particularly useful for people who like to hand code their HTML and use a HTML editor. The use of a GUI-based editor does not, however, rule out PPWIZARDs use and some editors allow you to define your own tags (allowing you to add PPWIZARDs tags and commands).
Probably the most common use of ppwizard is to include external files (such as common bits of html) and to create macros that represent smaller fragments of text such as web or email addresses, logic or both.
Some people recommend the use of a html preprocessor when SSI is unavailable. I recommend the opposite, use PPWIZARD for what it can do well and only use SSI if required (to do things it does well such as browser sniffing). You will find it will be much easier to maintain a site using PPWIZARD instead of server side includes and it also lets you do a lot more.
You may have frequently seen JavaScript mentioned as "the solution", not only is this relatively limiting and difficult but it will fail for the up to 20% of people who have JavaScript disabled (so your site navigation links etc will not be visible to the "customer").
The free "Regina" interpreter is required for operating systems other than OS/2 (this is installed for you under Windows). There are no binaries to build, the one version of PPWIZARD runs everywhere.
This allows you to keep common components or definitions in one place and reuse where required.
