Alessandro Mauri 280d0946db version 0.3 
fixes:
	- fixed the mess of options and general inconsistencies between program
	  man page and help message
	- fixed some cases where rivet should fail but didn't and specified
	  return values for all exit conditions
	- fixed the header system, before the header would have been added
	  inside of <head></head> which is incorrect, browsers would fix it
	  on the fly but still it is not correct.
	  Now _header.html contents are put inside <header></header> at the
	  beginning of <body>
	- fixed <footer> outside of <body>
	- some fixes in the man page

additions:
	- added the requirement for _metadata.html, this file contains tags
	  and html metadata that is put inside <head>
	- the main article is now enclosed inside <article></article> tags for
	  better styling

Rivet: static site genetator

Rivet is a static site generator that takes a directory containing markdown markdown files (and a couple special ones) and generates an output directory that can be uploaded to a server.

Rivet uses lowdown(1) to convert the markdown files to html, as such refer to the lowdown(5) manpage for the details of the dialect of markdown and the possible metadata that it can parse.

Dependencies

Examples

Generate site from directory to cool_site

$ rivet -o cool-site/ secret-sauce/ cool-url

The makefile I use to generate my site

SRCDIR = src
DESTDIR = dst
DOMAIN = alemauri.eu

all:
	rivet -o ${DESTDIR} ${SRCDIR} ${DOMAIN}

test: all
	xdg-open ${DESTDIR}/index.html

install: all
	rsync -vmruLz --delete ${DESTDIR}/ www@${DOMAIN}:/www/

clean:
	rm -rf ${DESTDIR}

The source directory

The source directory tree should at least contain:

  • index.md: will be converted to index.html
  • _header.html: contains the stuff to be placed inside all headers
  • _footer.html: contains the stuff to be placed inside all footers

Obviously anything can go in the source direcory, keep in mind that everything that is not markdown files will be just copied over.
