In regards to the listener question about using a templating language when using WordPress there is a really good option for this!

Timber – http://jarednova.github.io/timber/ can be installed via a WordPress plugin and let’s you write in Twig – http://twig.sensiolabs.org/

Twig is a templating language built for writing PHP and its beautiful, i can’t recommend it highly enough, makes writing the views for php really fun. A major benefit of using a templating language in a WordPress site is being able to reuse html patterns easily.

  seconded. Timber is so good. I don’t think i could cope with WP without it. “‘Cos wordpress is awesome, but the loop isn’t”

For the question about a plugin in Grunt that does simple HTML pre-processing , check grunt-bake ( https://www.npmjs.org/package/grunt-bake )
