Include HTML or VisualForce page in email template

Hello,

Is it possible to include a visualforce (or HTML) page in a visualforce email template?

The use case is I have a set of data that changes, but needs to be appended to several different kinds of emails.  I would like to keep this data in a single visualforce page which I can update only once, and automatically include it at the end of the various other email templates I create.  

(I new here).  Thanks for the help.

    Yes, You can. 

    First, Create a Visualforce Component Instead of Visualforce Page. 

    Example: Component Name - awesomeComp
    <apex:component>
        <apex:attribute name="record" description="The type of record we are viewing."
                        type="Object" required="true"/>
        <apex:pageBlock title="Viewing {!record}">   
            <apex:detail />
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:component>

    You can learn more about components Here. 

    https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_comp_cust_def.htm

    Then you can create Your visualforce email template and add it to the template.

    <messaging:emailTemplate 
     subject="Hey there!">
    <messaging:HtmlEmailBody >
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta content="text/css;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
    <meta name="Template" content="Response"/>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p><b>Your data</b>
    <c:awesomeComp record="" />    // your Component.
    </p>
    </body>
    </html>
    </messaging:HtmlEmailBody>
    </messaging:emailTemplate>

    Best,

    Nithesh
