Blog Generator - my own static site generator
Write in Markdown, publish in HTML.
Image created by https://robohash.org/
- The texts must be written in markdown.
- The first line of file will be the post title
#
mark. - The second line is a blank line.
- The third line will be the description of text, with
##
mark. Will be in meta description of generated html. - The filename MUST begin with a date:
2016-12-31-this-is-a-post.md
. - The texts must be in a subdirectory of
texts
. Each subdirectory will be assigned a category. - Change the layout by changing files in
templates
dir, which uses Tenjin as template system. JS
andCSS
files put inassets/{css, js}
.- The images used in the posts should be placed in a
images
subdirectory, within the category directory:texts/ruby/images/pinkpanter.jpg
. In the post, put the reference as![Pink Panter](images/pinkpanter.jpg)
. - Images used in posts MUST be placed in the same level
CATEGORY/images
. - By default, GeraBlog uses prism to highlight the syntax of the codes. The language indicated will be the category in which the text is. For example, the file
ruby/2016-12-31-ruby-rocks.md
if it has some source code, it will be marked as lang-ruby.

This project started with a script I made to generate my site https://paulohrpinheiro.xyz.
The script is in this gist:
