Templates

Hi every1, I've been playing around with template.inc out of PHPLib. Now there's just one question dwelling in my head.. is it possible somehow to get the server to parse any html-file that is requested. example: user requests file index.html, index.html is parsed thru a standard template to generate the nicely formatted page... index.html only holds the content of the site and is pure html (maybe with a tag or two to mark the content and the title or so, but no or very very little PHP code in it.) I hope this is more or less understandable... ;oP I'd appreciate any help on that even if you say that it will never work.. thanks Stefan
