Thanks for the idea.  I use an external HTML file as template.  It does 
not have a subpart for plugin.  Just wondering, without changing the 
HTML template file, if it's possible to use Typoscript to get the plugin 
included, just like how dynamic menu is coded in Setup outside of HTML 
template.

Any more ideas or pointers?
