Howdy,
Could you elaborate on what you want generated? When a browser connects to a web server, the web server returns a stream of HTML that is interpreted by the browser. Typically, the HTML that is returned is static and comes from the content of a file ... but it need not. The browser doesn't care where the HTML originally was sourced. As such, it is not uncommon to see a template processor be used. A template is a text file (containing HTML) that has "place holders" for dynamically generated data. When a browser request is received, the web server retrieves the template and replaces the place holders with actual data and transmits the end result to the browser.
Is this what you are looking for? A template processor? Did you have something else in mind? What is it you want to be included in the dynamically generated output stream from the ESP8266?
