text files

[Count_Rugen]

i am building a site with a lot of text and was wondering if it is possible to save all the text in a text file and reference this in my HTML to print it to the screen instead of having all the text in the HTML file.

With PHP or SSI you can:

.php
<?PHP
include ("yourfile.txt");
?>

.shtml
<!--# include file="yourfile.txt"-->

The only thing to remember is that for your new lines in the text file, you will need <br>'s unless you are importing to a textarea...

Do you mean something like a word that is hi-lited as a reference to more information?
If so use a link to another page that hav that information.
Other than that I can't make out what you are doing.

Great...Out of curiosity, which method did you use? PHP or SSI?

Hi, I needed to do something similar using

<?PHP
include ("yourfile.txt");
?>

problem is that it does not respect lines ... that is all the content is displayed on one line
