Current version: 1.3

HTMLPROC is a HTML preprocessor, designed to aid the web creator. It's main advantage is to allow to include files into files. This allows you to put a menu in a file and include it into all your pages, so if you change something in the menu, it will change automagically in all files.

There are another two advantages: it allows to refer to files using a "global path" or "by its name" (a must when you want to include a menu and your files are in directories and subdirectories), and adds the size of all pictures, allowing a better appearance while loading them.

I used other HTML preprocessor before, but when I started working with CSS I found a lot of troubles whith it because it was "too clever". That's why I decided to create this new preprocessor in Python. It does only what I want, and does it well :)
