The directives should be placed inside an HTML comment field. When a client asks a properly configured <a href="/title/Web+server">Web server</a> to send it a document that contains Server Side Includes, the Web server processes the directives and includes their output in what is sent to the client. <p> Two brief examples: <p> #include virtual="standard-page-footer.html" <br> #exec cgi="generate-page-footer.pl"
