HTML text-template editor

[blufish]

Okay so I built a template for my website but my question is I have about 100 pages for my site.  I want an editor with preferably no wysiwyg editor that takes a template and takes all the files in a folder and combines them.  Maybe it just replaces text in the pages with text in the template I don't care I just don't want to have to go and edit every page by hand every time I want to change something about the design.

 

Thanks,

P.S: Just telling ideas about what a program like this might be called would be helpful.

Dreamweaver lets you create a template for a site and updates all pages when you change the template.

You can use php includes to include the template into the documents. Not really what you are looking for, but quite easy to implement.

This is how it should be done. It isn't easy though, and at times is very frustrating, since what you see on the browser at home doesn't equal what you will see on a live page - unless you install php on your computer of course.

You can install your own local server very easily using:

 

WAMP - http://www.wampserver.com/en/

 

or

 

XAMPP - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

 

That way you can do all your own testing, use php to build your templates, and entire sites on your own system and across browsers without having to upload anything to an external server. You can have as many sites as you want, or variants of them, and create your own URLs to view them.

Wamp is easier than ever to install these days. Definitely worth it.
