This is ssic, a Server Side Includes Compiler.
-ssic processes HTML documents with SSI directives formatted as SGML comments.
-It can be used to process documents without an HTTP server for local browsing or
-to generate static HTML documents to be efficiently served by an HTTP server.
-Documents could even be preprocessed, e.g. by a Markdown processor, before being
-parsed with ssic.

The following commands are supported:
- * `config` controls various aspects of processing. There are three valid
- tags:
- - `errmsg` controls the message that is substituted into the document when
- an error occurs.
- - `timefmt` is a format string used by `strftime` that controls the format
- of dates.
- - `sizefmt` controls the units of file sizes. Valid values are `bytes` for
- sizes in bytes and `abbrev` for sizes in kibibytes or mebibytes.
- * `set` sets the value of a variable. Two tags are accepted: `var` and
- `value`.
- * `echo` prints the value of an include variable (see below) or environment
- variable. The only valid tag is `var`.
- * `printenv` prints a list of all environment variables and their values.
- * `include` processes and inserts the text of a document into the current
- document. There are two valid tags:

+ current document. There are two valid tags:
- `file` gives a pathname relative to the current directory.
- - `virtual` gives a pathname, beginning with `/`, relative to the document
- root.
+ - `virtual` gives a pathname, beginning with `/`, relative to the
+ document root.
* `exec` executes a shell command. The only valid tag is `cmd`.
- * `flastmod` prints the modification date of a specified file. Valid tags are
- the same as for the `include` command.
- * `fsize` prints the size of a specified file. Valid tags are the same as for
- the `include` command.
+ * `flastmod` prints the modification date of a specified file. Valid
+ tags are the same as for the `include` command.

Include Variables
-----------------
* `DATE_GMT` is the current date in UTC.
* `DATE_LOCAL` is the current date in the local timezone.
* `DOCUMENT_NAME` is the current filename.
- * `DOCUMENT_ROOT` is the document root, in which files specified with the
- `virtual` tag are found.
+ * `DOCUMENT_ROOT` is the document root, in which files specified with
+ the `virtual` tag are found.
* `DOCUMENT_URI` is the current filename.
* `LAST_MODIFIED` is the modification date of the current document.
