NAME

       WPP - The Web Preprocessor

SYNOPSIS

       wpp [POSIX or GNU style options] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       WPP is a small perl5 script that allows preprocessing of html files.  It's useful for
       giving an uniform layout to different html pages.  It allows you to define "variables",
       which are abbreviations for longer constructs, and include common html fragments.

       WPP provides four separate facilities that you can use as you fit: inclusion of templates,
       variables expansion, conditional generation and macro expansion.

       It can be used into cgi scripts for dynamic generation of pages.  With less html code
       inside them you can make more flexible and readable cgi-scripts.

       WPP is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).  As such, you
       can use this program free of charge but there is no warranty.
