[WM] handling real HTML

Eric S. Johansson,

You could maintain your content in a folder as html with your wysiwyg
tool,  then create a shell or batch script in perl that 1) runs a regex
against your html files and copies the header and footerless markup to a
content folder,  then 
2) invokes webmake which pulls in these content files with a <contents>
tag.

I'm sure you could add a perl section to webmake to preprocess your html
content,  but I would say the learning curve and maintenance would be
higher.

Also,  depending on your platform,  I've found that using either emacs'
integrated web browser (w3) or emacs-over-ssh to edit wiki source files
directly (using tramp-mode) to be good alternatives to editing content
files via a mozilla/ie web browser.
