HEllo,
I have been reading the docs on Server Side Includes.
All the examples mention using .shtml extensions.
I am wondering can i user something like main.html (specifiy the entire
file? ) i really do not want to turn in on for all html pages

Thanks

You can parse other files depending upon what filename extensions you put
in the space separated list at the end of directive:

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

But it is best NOT to parse all html, especially if you have any files
that take unknown user input (like guestbooks). But you can implement it
for specific directories, or within Files or FilesMatch wrappers (putting
it in .htaccess if allowed, would apply to that dir and any subdirectories
under that). Or you can selectively do it for specific files by setting
execute bits (see docs for XBitHack).
