qwkgen
qwkgen is a mkfile cobbled together with some templates and 9base utilities to generate my blog.
The program is not configurable. However, the mkfile and the template engine are simple enough to maintain a personal fork.
werc's template.awk is used as the template language.
A fork of libsoldout is used as the markdown engine. It is able to render math to inlined base64 png using the bin/latex2png script.
Dependencies
- A C compiler to build libsoldout.
- The
9basepackage or plan9port for mk and rc. (I never tried to run this in Plan 9 itself.) - For math, a form of latex, dvipng and optipng.
Usage
Clone with git clone --recursive.
mk gets the ball rolling. The default output directory is _site/.
Place posts in lib/*.md with a date prefix in YYYY-MM-DD format. An example is 2016-10-10-the_perils_of_being_a_horse.md.
Tweak the mkfile and the templates to your interest.
