Dynamic page generation - need to build pages with a template

I have a site where every page is basically identical. I do a lot of maintenance, and I often change the style of things like the nav bar. I understand that I could use SSI to build the page before it is sent to the visitor, but I want it to be slightly modified (like the link to the current page is de-activated on the nav bar). I could do this in C++ or maybe even CGI but does SSI allow this?

Hi,

that's a perfect area for WML.
Look at

you'll have a little startup efford, but afterwards it
does exactly what you need, without additional server load.

i have the same problem, i would like to see if there is a way i can edit a page without changing the html directly, what i mean is rather then checking the html document i can just fill in the blanks for some program to put it together for me, is there a way?
