staw

Simple static web generator, similar to (s)werc, written in Go. In contrast to werc it generates static web sites that don't require (fast)cgi execution on demand.

staw supports a very simple migration from existing werc sites to static staw sites.

staw creates HTML output for each directory and markdown input file. It also copies all other files to the output directory. The output directory should be served as docroot for the particular site by a regular web server.

staw uses Go's template approach and the github.com/gomarkdown/markdown markdown package.

Usage

; staw -h
Usage of ./staw:
  -in string
	input site directory (required)
  -out string
	output site directory (required)
  -t string
	site title of the site (required)
  -tpl string
	template file to be used (required) (default "page.tpl")

Template

Have a look at the

sample/page.tpl

staw uses a recursive menu structure and defines the following variables that can be used during the template execution on each markdown page:

.Site        string
.SiteTitle   string
.Title       string
.HtmlContent string
.Items range {
	.Path   string
	.Name   string
	.Sel    bool
	.Items  range...
}

Happy hacking.
