sitegen

It creates a static web site which can contain blog entries, and pages. The pages can be written as HTML code (only the content part of the page) or as Markdown.

Directory layout

As of now this directory structure is planned, some parts work already.

Source documents, templates, etc.

• pages or sources (or both) contain the pages, either HTML or Markdown
• posts contains blog posts
• _config.yml contains site configuration
• _layouts contains page templates
• Makefile: controls sitegen
• any other directory without leading '_' or '.' characters are copied as is into its final place

As of now it's a bit different:

• templates/current contains the theme
  • assets subdirectory contains theme files needs to be copied into _install/theme
  • default.tpl is used to generate HTML files in _install
• source contains the .md files to be processed

During site generation

• _site will be the location of the generated content
• _build is the directory used for temporary files

As of now the generated pages are in _install instead of _site.

Usage

To initialize: sitegen.py init -d my-site; cd my-site

After initialization there will be a Makefile, which controls sitegen. As of now the dependency handling is in that Makefile.

To generate files simply call make in the my-site directory.
