Indeed so. The point in this context is where and how SSIs are accessed by the website coder, and that is from within plain HTML. The fact that they areexecuted by the server does not change this. > It has nothing to do with HTML. As I said, SSIs are not part of HTML. But in reality they are associated with HTML. As it says in the 'Apache Tutorial: Introduction to Server Side Includes' at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html : SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML pages, and evaluated on the server while the pages are being served > No, not "plain HTML". Nevertheless, SSIs *are* accessed (both by the coder and by the server) from what I can rationally only describe as plain HTML. Certainly, SSIs are not themselves "plain HTML" but they are associated with "plain HTML" and are placed within "plain HTML". And so, whilst it is entirely true to say that HTML does not have an "include" directive, it also true to say that HTML does have an "include" directive available to it (i.e. available to the plain HTML coder).
