15.1 Static HTML Pages

Some sites like Linux Gazette (http://www.linuxgazette.com/) require completely static pages because they are mirrored on servers running completely different software from the main site. Even dynamic sites may have one or two pages that are static for whatever reason, and the site administrator may wish to generate those pages from Cheetah templates.

There's nothing special here. Just create your templates as usual. Then compile and fill them whenever the template definition changes, and fill them again whenever the placeholder values change. You may need an extra step to copy the .html files to their final location. A Makefile (chapter 13.8) can help encapsulate these steps.
