Text substitution

[Glasgow]

I'm a self-confessed HTML novice and have a couple of applications that I have been knocking up HTML help files for (using both Word and FrontPage).

Ideally, I'd like to share some HTML pages between both the applications but substituting a string (e.g. &quot;<appname>&quot with the name of the application as the help file is built so that the pages are identical in both help files except references to the application name.

Also, if possible, I'd like some of the references to graphics to be substituted so that the text of pages are the same but point to external gif files which are different for each application.

Alternatively, if there is a way I can build in logic to say 'if application = appa then use text &quot;App1&quot; else etc' then this would be a viable alternative.

Thanks in advance.

Glasgow... I can't answer your actual question... but I'd steer clear of using word for html as it produces loads of extra totally useless code!
Notepad is much better :¬)

Point taken - actually, I'm being driven towards FrontPage as I want to use cascading style sheets and I don't want the learning curve of CSS syntax.
