There isn't an html include. (I wish there was!)

See if your server supports server side includes, I think that might give
you what you are after (but I've not used them, so could be wrong).

An alternative would be to use JavaScript, to generate the common content.
The trouble with this is that you can't rely on everyone having JavaScript
enabled.

Hope this helps.
