How so? Would you use basic Unix utils like `cat` to build the final page? I guess you're essentially building a static site generator at that point. Albeit a very simple one with minimal dependencies.
Right, you have a header, a collection of body docs, and a footer. A markdown converter if you'd like. make and then scp transfer or commit to vcs, etc.
As these are common tools there's no cognitive overhead for developers and it can still be automated for users.
