<!--#set var="title" value="ssic (Server Side Includes Compiler)" -->
<!--#include virtual="/includes/header.html" -->

This is ssic, a Server Side Includes Compiler.

ssic processes HTML documents with SSI directives formatted as SGML comments.
It can be used to process documents without an HTTP server for local browsing or
to generate static HTML documents to be efficiently served by an HTTP server.
Documents could even be preprocessed, e.g. by a Markdown processor, before being
parsed with ssic.

The set of commands, tags, and variables supported by ssic is mostly a superset
of those supported by the old [NCSA HTTPd][ncsa-httpd-ssi] and a subset of those
supported by [Apache HTTPd's `mod_include`][mod-include-ssi].

ssic uses the `CGI::SSI` Perl module for directive processing.

Examples
========

[This Web site][www-git] is preprocessed with a markdown interpreter and
compiled with ssic.  Compilation is directed by [a makefile][www-git-makefile]
that supports environments with (run `make`) or without (run `make local`) a Web
server.
