Template engine for layout designer?

Question

HTML

Look for the easiest option for splitting html pages into parts when layout. For example, take out common elements in the base templates (header, footer, etc.). Google says you can use

1. Pug (ex Jade)
   
2. HAML
   
3. Twig
   
4. Blade
   

They are all complex for such a simple task, and need to install php, nodejs which is already a problem for some people.
Is there an easier option for a coder?

Answer 1

Handlebars can only be used by connecting the script.
But without a gallp or a webpack it's hard these days.

Answer 2

Personally, I use grunt/gulp + handlebars ( gulp-plugin , grunt-plugin ).
Installing grunt or gulp shouldn't scare you. Tutorials: grunt , gulp
