These pages document a static website generator which generates HTML pages from source files in a directory structure. The structure of the generated website reflects that directory structure. Website content is defined in text files with file extension .txt. The directory structure also contains image files for images to display.
The text files contain directives which define the page appearance, the text for the page is defined using a simplified markdown syntax.
Contents of the source directory structure:
File / directory | Usage |
404.txt | Page to display for 404 errors - this requires statements in .htaccess file or equivalent |
**/*.txt | Source for HTML pages |
**/*.png | Image files |
**/*.jpg | Image files |
**/*.jpeg | Image files |
Files and directories starting with the _ underscore character are ignored.
Style sheets for the generated HTML files are included inline rather than being in separate CSS files. See browser caching for more details on this.
