If you have an html file, that is, a file containing html markup with "html"
or "htm" extension it is _not_ parsed by the php engine,, normaly.

Yes, it's called "print" and it can do more complex things than echo will,
it's simlar, but not actualy the same.
It's described

Yes, there is.
-------------------------------------
!DOCTYPE blah blah blah
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<p>stuff in this file that contains html markup with a ".php" extension</p>
<p>Other stuff</p>
<?php
echo '<p>Parse this and include it into the html stuff above and
below</p>';
?>
<p>Other stuff in this file that has a ".php" extension and will be output
as html by the php engine.</p>
<?php
echo '<p>Parsed and included as html in the output with the other markup
around it</p>';
?>
<p>More html markup</p>
<?php
include(myFileIDidStuffTooAMomentAgo.inc);
?>
</body>
</html>

But would if you wrote it as below and saved the file with a php extension..
<body>blah
<?php
echo 'Hello';
?>
</body>

I would have to agree.

Parsing is a very generic term and may include opperations that have nothing
to do with html output, or php for that matter.
It can only be assumed that you mean "interpreted by the php engine" but you
seem to indicate something else by the context here.

The above could be written into a file with a .php extension as;
---------------------
<?php
$Page = file_get_contents('somepath/Page.txt')
function parse(&$Page)
{
//Losts of parsing code here
}
parse($Page);
file_put_contents($Page);
?>

I would have to agree. So you might write the above as follows;
---------------------
<?php
$Page = file_get_contents('somepath/Page.txt')
function parse(&$Page)
{
//Losts of parsing code
}
parse($Page);
echo $Page;
[Or
print parse($Page);
Or
echo parse($Page);
]
?>
----------------------
I'm not sure that the above is usefull. There seems to be some confusion
about what exactly you are wanting to do.
It may be an inaquacey on my part, or it may be ambiguity on your part ;)
