You definitely want to learn about BBEdit persistent includes. The persistent
include is a pair of HTML comments, and every time you Markup > Update your
document, the text between the comments is replaced by the content of the
included file (so, for example, you can have your navigation menu in an include
file -- update your entire site, and presto, the navigation menu is changed in
every page. Even better, yje persistent include doesn't have to be plain HTML
-- it can be a script (shell script, AppleScript, Perl, Ruby, or Python) that
will *generate* the included HTML.
