Dumbo is the world's dumbest static site generator. It does one thing - convert HTML and Markdown to HTML based on templates.
Download Dumbo from the GitHub releases page and place it in a folder in your PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin.
Dumbo has only been tested on Linux.
Run Dumbo like:
dumbo <INPUT_DIR> <OUTPUT_DIR>
This will build from sources in the input directory and leave a static HTML site in the output directory. If the output directory exists, it will be overwritten!
Your input directory should be structured like this:
_templates/
page.html
post.html
...
a.html
b.post.md
z.png
c/
d.page.md
e/
f.post.md
g.html
Any non-Markdown files will be copied verbatim to the output directory.
Markdown files are named in the form <name>.<template>.md. The template must be present in the _templates folder. They will be rendered as HTML using this template.
Folder structure is preserved when building. For example, in the directory above, c/e/f.post.md will be built as c/e/f.html.
Templates should be HTML files with a place to substitute a title and the Markdown content, like:
<html>
<head>
<title>
{{.Title}}
</title>
</head>
<body>
{{.Content}}
</body>
</html>
If you want to contribute, feel free!
You can build with:
go build
Then run the binary dumbo in the working directory to test your changes.
