 Perhaps I could do this with a custom `<insert>` tag with maybe an `id` parameter. How you would declare a variable, I'm not sure. At the very least, I'll likely have to make a proper parser to make this happen. The script is kinda hacky as it is.

 The idea being that `<include>` in effect pulls in stuff from another file, and `<insert>` places in within something. Perhaps think of it as sewing; you stitch both sides together by pushing the pin through, and pulling it back.

+
+Setting or getting values from `<const>` and `<insert>` depends on whether the element self-closes or not.
+
+For example, this will set a value to the const id of 'my_const':
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+
+    <const id="my_const">Value</const>
+
+This will pull the value:
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+
+    <const id="my_const" />
+
+A full example:
+
+src/title.html
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+
+    <title>
+        <insert id="my_title" />
+    </title>
+
+src/index.html
+
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+
+    <!-- title_const = "My Homepage" -->
+    <const id="title_const">My Homepage</const>
+
+    <html>
+        <head>
+            <include src="title.html">
+                <!-- my_title = title_const -->
+                <insert id="my_title">
+                    <const id="title_const" />
+                </insert>
+            </include>
+        </head>
