Static Markdown-to-HTML generator.

Generate static web pages from exported Markdown HTML. This is a work-in-progress built with minimalism in mind, and is deliberately designed to be simple, lightweight, and free of external dependencies and modules.

TODO

• Skip the export to HTML from editor by implementing a basic Markdown parser.
• Include sample directory structure.

How it Works

Generator takes raw HTML content exported from a Markdown editor, and generates static HTML web pages with universal base template, header, and footer. Directory structure can be organized by specifying manifest directives in the JSON configuration.

Usage

Display Help

php generator.php help

Initialize project configuration

php generator.php init

This will generate a starting configuration file:

{
    "template": {
        "base": "template\/layout\/base.html",
        "header": "template\/layout\/header.html",
        "footer": "template\/layout\/footer.html"
    },
    "manifest": {
        "html\/index.html": "index.html",
        "html\/about.html": "about.html",
        "html\/error.html": "error.html",
        "html\/error\/unofficial-error.html": "error\/unofficial-error.html",
        "html\/resources-for-building-static-websites.html": "resources-for-building-static-websites.html"
    }
}

Generate from source file

php generator.php source-file destination-file

Generate all from configuration manifest.

php generator.php generate
