Server-Side Include

(S-S-I)

A command in the form of an HTML comment that tells the web server to perform a task as part of the page download. Different servers support different commands and there is no official standard. A typical use is to include boilerplate text as part of the web page. If you see the extension .shtml it's likely the page was generated partially with SSI commands.
