I have a similar issue and if you rule out php, asp, ssi, js etc then
dorayme's solution is the only one I could find that worked. I started using
a find and replace tool, but have recently moved on to a html-preprocessor,
but the basic solution remains the same - put it in the html files and be
prepared to do global find and replace when necessary.
