A handler to parse file contents is actually a poor choice. You use an output filter. Relevant examples in the current codebase include mod_includes, which parses tags in a manner similar to what the OP seems to envisage, and mod_proxy_html which uses a markup-aware parser that feeds each <...> as an event to your registered callback. Either of those modules would be a startingpoint to look at. -- Nick Kew
