I use make and cpp.  Depending on what pages are like, you can have a
header, footer, sidebar etc. simply #include'd from separate files.
Cpp's -D defines are also handy, except they don't work inside quoted
strings (i.e. <A href="DEFINED_URL"> doesn't work). :(  Cpp also 
doesn't like unmatched apostrophes etc.  (I think if I have to do more
html, I'll write a specialized cpp replacement ...)
I use jed to edit the stuff -- it does syntax highliting etc.  I suspect
nowadays vi does, too.  It works quite well when you're making a large 
number of more or less standard pages.  YMMV.

Speaking of html, how does one use sgml tools to do dtd validation? -- is
there a howto somewhere?
