<div align=justify>In order to use Server Side Includes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes) in your files, they must have .shtml or .shtm extension. Alternatively, adding the following line to your .htaccess will specify different file types that should be checked for such includes:

 ''AddHandler server-parsed .extension''

Then you'll be able to add code to your pages that will be processed by the web server. The code should be of the following format:

{{#icon: SSI.png}}

A brief explanation on SSI structure and work can be found below:

{{#icon: SSI2.png}} is the opening identifier, each SSI code should start with this.

{{#icon: SSI3.png}} specifies the command that can be sent to the server. This can be one of the following: ''echo, include, fsize, flastmod, exec, config , odbc, email, if, goto, label, break.''

{{#icon: SSI4.png}} is a set of variables and their values.

{{#icon: SSI5.png}} is the closing tag. Every Server Side Inclusion should end with it.

Here is an example of how to include HTML file into a page using SSI:

{{#icon:SSI2.png}}include virtual="somefile.shtml"{{#icon:SSI5.png}}
</div>
