A minimalistic, static HTML-templating blog generator written entirely in POSIX-compliant shell

🪷 suna - static blog generator

Suna is:

• ✔️ Not to be used for practical use, just a fun project.
• ✔️ A static website generator.
• ✔️ A Markdown to HTML parser.
• ✔️ An HTML-Templating Engine.
• ✔️ Minimal.
• ✔️ Fast.
• ✔️ Written in POSIX-Compliant Shell.

⚠️ The parser is incomplete. Tables & multiline code blocks will not work.

📖 Installation & Usage

Clone the git repository.

git clone https://github.com/fuku77/suna && cd suna

Run the script

Simply run the script:

./suna 

You should see some new files & folders inside root. You can take a look at the files to make sure it generated correctly.
You can change the root directory to where you want to host your web server by using --output DIR or by editing config

⚙ Configuration

The program is configured through editing the config file.
You can run suna -h to get a brief explanation of all the command-line options.

outputDir	root by default.
templateFile	.suna/template.html by default. Default template file used for all files, unless explicitely stated otherwise through rules.
logFile	.suna/suna.log by default.
action	Default action performed when no action arguments are given. Valid actions can be found inside config.
logSize	Maximum size for logFile (in lines).
verbose	Default verbosity.

📚 Rules & Variables

Variables are set to their values during parsing.
Variables can be written either inside the template or the markdown source files.

• Variable syntax: {{ VAR }}
• Rule syntax:

  <!-- {
    !rule1 "foo"
    !rule2 "bar"
  } -->
  

---

Variable	Value
TITLE	The title of the document.
CONTENT	Parsed result of the file. This is a special variable, as it can only be used inside the HTML template.

---

Rule	Value
title	Used for the TITLE variable. Falls back to the first header in file if not given, otherwise falls back to file name
template	Specify a different template for the file. Note that the path must be relative to .suna, so !template "foo.html" will result in .suna/foo.html.
