NAME

SYNOPSYS

DESCRIPTION

12       This command builds all content within your "ROOT/content" directory
13       into HTML form.
14
15       The content will be first organized into an internal graph
16       representation, so that each entry knows which other entries refer to
17       it. Each node of the graph is then mapped on a HTML template, and and
18       saved in the "ROOT/build" directory. During this process unresolved
19       links are notified to the user via standard error.
20
21   Templates and expansions
22       HTML templates must be stored in the "ROOT/templates" directory.
23
24       The template engine in use is "Template::Alloy". In a nutshell, it
25       allows to expand simple code blocks within a HTML (or text) skeleton,
26       as for example in:
27
28           <title>[% site.title %]</title>
29
30       Loops and conditionals are also supported. The library is well
31       documented, so you may consult the relevant references for learning the
32       supported mini-language.
33
34       You may take advantage of the default templates which are installed by
35       default during the initialization process ("pft init"):
36
37       "default.html"
38           is a simple but reasonable template suitable for any page;
39
40       "dump_page.html"
41           is a test template which gets expanded with all the available
42           variables for each page. This constitutes a useful test, and a
43           reference for available keys if you want to build your own
44           template.
45
46       More default installed templates may be added in future.
47
48       If you are writing a template, keep in mind they are expected to be
49       encoded as by locale.
50
51       You are also encouraged to share your own templates: any help is
52       appreciated! Please encode your shared templates as utf-8.
53
54   The output website
55       The output encoding depends on a configuration key in "pft.yaml" (see
56       the manual of "pft init"). The template is supposed to define the
57       encoding in a proper way, that is by making use of the "[%
58       site.encoding %]" key in the HTML header:
59
60           <head>
61           <meta http-equiv="content-type"
62                 content="text/html; charset=[% site.encoding %]">
63           ...
64           </head>
65
66       The result of a build is a group of relocatable HTML pages: pages are
67       referring each other via relative links. This means that the generated
68       site will work fine even if moved or copied remotely on another system.
69
70       Besides the generated site, the "ROOT/build" directory will also
71       contain links to everything under the "ROOT/inject". This meets the
72       common requirement of placing additional files in the root directory of
73       online websites (typical case being the ".htaccess" file of Apache).
