slweb


slweb is a static website generator which aims at being simplistic. It transforms custom Markdown-like syntax into HTML.



Q&A


Q: Is this suckless?

A: No. SGML, and by extension, HTML, isn't suckless.


Q: Why do you call it "simple" then?

A: Because one is not the synonym for the other.


Q: Why not make a website generator as a shell script?

A: slweb was a shell script in its conception (check its history of commits in git). However, I wanted to implement Markdown links with link ids [like][this]. This requires multiple passes by the parser and is better implemented as a full-blown program in C anyway. The other reason was that sed and awk have limits, which some of my pages hit.

Q: My static website generator is "truly simple", this is not simple!

A: Good for you. By the way, that is a statement and not a question.



Prerequisites


C compiler - defaults in config.mk



Optional dependencies


KaTeX for math mode

git (for {git-log})

identify from ImageMagick (for <img width="" height="">)


KaTeX

ImageMagick



Install


$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/slweb
$ cd slweb
$ su
# make install


Persistent build configuration file


The file config.mk will be sourced when building targets which also accept configuration through environment variables. For example, CC and PREFIX are specified in config.mk.



OpenBSD


Before running make(1), comment the CPPFLAGS definition in config.mk above the line with the “OpenBSD” comment and uncomment the one below it:

#CPPFLAGS	= -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L \
#		  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700
# OpenBSD
CPPFLAGS	= -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L \
		  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -D_BSD_SOURCE

Also, do the same for MANPREFIX:

#MANPREFIX	= $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man
# OpenBSD
MANPREFIX	= $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/man


Install (Arch)


$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/slweb.git
$ cd slweb
$ makepkg -si


Examples


See the examples/ directory in this repository.


examples/


Given the file index.slw in the current directory:


---
site-name: Test website
site-desc: My first website in slweb
---

{main}
# Hello world

This is an _example_ of a statically generated HTML.

{/main}

after using the command:


$ slweb index.slw > index.html

file `index.html` contains:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Test website</title>
    <meta charset="utf8">
    <meta name="description" content="My first website in slweb">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <meta name="generator" content="slweb">
</head>
<body>

<main>
<h1>Hello world</h1>

<p>This is an <em>example</em> of a statically generated HTML.</p>

</main>
</body>
</html>
