# Static Site Generator
Generates simple webpages.
# How to use
1. Create a file with `.page` extension, the file name will be title of the page, for example: `About Us.page`

2. Use markdown in the created file, it will be auto-converted to HTML. You can also use raw HTML in the file, with `>` symbol, like this:
```
**Example**
>
<p>Hello world</p>
**Back to just markdown**
```
Line before HTML code must be a single character `>` and HTML code below must be indented by 2 spaces.

3. (Optional) Create a file called `navbar` and/or `footer` to have a navigation bar/footer that is added to every generated page file. Example navbar file: (See example/resources/style.css for styling dropdown)
2022-01-28 13:56:36 +00:00
```
Home::Home.page
About::About.page
External Site::https://example.com
Dropdown::#|
Site 1::https://example1.com
Site 2::https://example2.com
FAQ::FAQ.page
2022-01-28 13:56:36 +00:00
```
It also supports HTML, but HTML code will not be formatted as navigation bar automatically.

4. (Optional) Add `resources` folder, its contents will be copied to generated site's folder. You can create subfolders in it that have the same name as a specific `.page` file, in order to put resources in that page's folder.
Note: folder name must be lowercase and spaces must be replaced with `-` character.
5. Run generate.py, it will generate output website files in `website-output` folder.

# To-do list
- Re-think footer (it works, but I'm unsure if it is flexible enough)
2022-01-31 11:03:04 +00:00
- Delete removed page files from website-output during next site generation (Last, to be done on release, so it doesn't disturb development)
2022-09-06 18:18:04 +00:00
- Maybe document styling? (div classes: 'content', 'dropdown', 'dropbtn', 'dropdown-content', etc.)
- Custom markdown for colors?
