You can use EJS(http://embeddedjs.com/) as a view engine and use the html (in form of ejs files)

`app.set('view engine', 'ejs');`

and place the .ejs files containing the html code within the view folder.

You'll have to update the dependencies in the package.json as well

"ejs": ">= 0.0.0"

For listing static html pages, use this property in express

`app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));`

and place your .html files within the public folder.
