Honestly, the number of template engines of various complexities for 
HTML may as well be infinite at this point.  My first thought for this 
would be to write it as a PHP file - the metadata locations would be 
variables, process to HTML output - but pick a language and platform and 
you'll be able to find a dozen.

Actually, my *first* thought for myself would be to use BBEdit's built 
in template system.  So, yeah - expand that to include most high-end 
HTML editing software.
