<!--#include {virtual|file}=filename -->

use virtual=filename if you're using (duh..) virtual directories or
servers, or even links to files (the virtual paths can of course be ln -s'd)
otherwise, use file=filename

e.g.

<!--#include file=header.txt -->

<!--#include file=footer.txt -->

These files can have html commands/tags in them, which will be interpreted.
Just remember to make any document that has includes in it World executable
(chmod 644 thing.html).

Doesn't *anyone* refer to TFM anymore? This is definitely in it.
