Then you need to use templating tags for rest documents :

    <$ include('filename.txt') $>

See 'templating.txt' about the two different sorts of templating tags. :-)

You will only be able to use this inside *pages* though, not inside 
'template.txt', which is never processed for ReST. (You want to include 
ReST in your HTML template !?!?).

*However*, I can easily expose an equivalent of html_parts -so you could 
do :

    <% include_rest('filename.txt', encoding) %>

Do you need this ?
