At the moment all the links inside the HTML files are not relative (i.e. start with a slash), so browser as is does not render the pages correctly anyway.

Having SSI enabled we could separate the content from the rest of the page, say:
/dev.html: // the whole page to test with an HTTP server
  includes inc/header.html
  includes inc/menu.html
  includes content/dev.html // flat HTML file to test with just a browser
  includes inc/footer.html

So the „content" directory could be used to store flat HTML files, but without any headers/menus/footers.


Alternatively, we could build (i.e. concatenate) HTML pages using a makefile or a script. So we could have a structure as above without any code duplication. Then we could build the pages with headers and menus to test them locally or to upload to a web-server.
