Static Site Generator - C Preprocessor Syntax

I made this as a quick solution to my unique problem. Although my problem could be solved easily using existing frameworks, but I wanted extremely fast solution requring no setup. So i made a C-macros syntax static site generator.

I usaully make games on game idea, you can find my work there. Thank you for coming here!

Usage Examples

In a.html:

#define header(title, subtitle) (
    <header>
        <h1>{title}</h1>
        <h2>{subtitle}</h2>
    </header>
)

In b.html:

#include <./a.html>

header(My Hehe Title, My Good Subtitle)


<!-- defining more components -->

#define card(image, title, text) (
    <div class="card">
        <img src="{image}" alt="{title}">
        <h3>{title}</h3>
        <p>{text}</p>
    </div>
)

After that, run static_site_generator_machine.py file. It will create a build/ folder with a generated website. The other file, static_site_generator.py is a layer on top of previous file, that automates the process of re-building as soon as changes have been made to the file. So if u need automated solution, just run the latter file and everything will be auto-generated on save, from the current directory.

Issues

1. File paths are not resolved in generated site. So you have to put all your assets in assets/ folder, otherwise issues may arise if during building, the contents of components are copied to other files present in another levels in system directory. Then references such as ./myimage.png might introduce invalid path as now, the current directory is the directory of another component where this component is #included.
2. I have not tested #ifdef, #ifndef, #else, #endif, #undef etc.

Other Examples

We declare a component using #define like this:

In the above code, the parameters values will be replaced with passed value.

Then we use it like this:

There is more we can do. Basically, most of C proprocessor is implemented, but there can be some issues in conditinoal thing such as #ifndef.
