I think writing a program and writing a static website are totally 
different things.

If you want to reuse something in a static website you use a partial: 
something that's included. You can optionally pass parameters to that 
partial.

What you usually want to include is HTML, not a value or an expression, 
so it makes sense to put it in a separate html (markdown, whatever) file.

Yes, it's similar to a macro, but that's how *everyone* is doing web 
development.
