From one small program, you can create an entire website. Jellybean is a static site generator created in Node.js that lets you easily convert your text files into HTML files.
- A single .txt file or folder containing multiple files can be converted into HTML pages.
- The title of the page, which is the first line of a file if followed by two blank lines, will be automatically generated.
- Generated files are stored in the 'dist' folder and style is provided by 'style.css' by default. Custom folders and styles can be specified using optional flags (see below).
- Clone this repository

THE ADVENTURE OF THE SIX NAPOLEONS
It was no very unusual thing for Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard,
to look in upon us of an evening, and his visits were welcome to
Sherlock Holmes, for they enabled him to keep in touch with all
that was going on at the police headquarters. In return for the
news which Lestrade would bring, Holmes was always ready to
listen with attention to the details of any case upon which the
detective was engaged, and was able occasionally, without any
active interference, to give some hint or suggestion drawn from
his own vast knowledge and experience.Generated File:
