a HTML page always starts with <html> (or <!DOCTYPE). if you want to store data, try XML or JSON.
and yes, it is wrong to use HTML as data, because HTML is a structured document for viewing.

if it’s a valid HTML file, you can use it as such, if it only contains a chunk of HTML, then you could declare it a template or inlude file (the extension doesn’t matter as long as it is not used for something different), which are basically simple text files.

Don't try and use some pointless hack to do something that would be far better attributed to SQL or an actual DB. You're wasting time thinking about these things that you could use to better learn a real database which is far better experience in the end.
This is one of the most bizarre ways of being lazy I have ever seen.

The issue is not learning a database, and this is not laziness, I'm just exploring different ways to create websites with multiple pages that do not require a database to run. This is not a pointless hack, or even a hack.

Dormilich, I guess that's the confirmation I was needing, thanks.

Then use a flat database text file. You're wasting your time by finding a new way of doing something in this regard. Have you ever heard of the concept of reinventing the wheel? The only issue is you're making a square.
