htmlex - a powerful hypertext markup language preprocessor Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003 by David A. Capello htmlex is a small but powerful HTML preprocesor, which has numerous advantages compared to conventional HTML files. On top of that, htmlex is fully compatible with the standard HTML syntax. This means that you can use any HTML file that you have previously made, rename it to .htex, and start using htmlex.
