In that case you are talking about generating your web page dynamically. 
You need a way to do that (which is something different than revlets, 
it's HTML.) You can use an old-style Rev CGI, or better, an iRev page if 
you are on the On-Rev server. Or you can use PHP or another language 
that can generate web pages on the fly.

As Mark said, there isn't a way to intercept the original creation of 
the HTML test page, but you could write a little script that replaces 
the existing one with your custom one after the fact. What I do is just 
alter the test page once, and then after every new revlet build I just 
drop the new revlet into the permanent folder with my altered HTML page, 
replacing the old revlet. It's pretty easy.
