# mkweb Mkweb is a very little framework I've developed for the last four years based on markdown files. It started as an actual `mkfile` (of which there was a `Makefile` translation for UNIX™ systems) and turned into a standalone [rc(1)](http://man.9front.org/1/rc) script over time. I've been meaning to release it for a long time now. _I know there are many like it, but this one is mine_. ## Usage The script is quite simple and, since you will have to modify it whether you want to or not, I recommend you take a peek before we continue. Alright, see? there are three variables you need to keep track of: `filter`, `sections` and `site`. The `filter` is a [regexp(6)](http://man.9front.org/6/regexp) used to exclude files from `sections`, a list of folders possibly holding an `index.md`, which would otherwise crawl into the depths of every directory there is. `site` is the root URL of your website, it's only used for generating the sitemap file (ab)used by some bots out there. Every time you create a section and add an `index.md` to it, you must run `mkweb` to generate the entire site, or you can also just `mkweb -s path/to/newsection` to process your new webshit. This process will translate the markdown file into html, while attaching to it a head, a menu and some feet (see `tpl/`) to make a proper document. And that's it. All the hypertexting is done by yiyus' `md2html.awk`, which could be replaced by discount or any other translator of your choice, doesn't even need to be a markdown one (Wikitext, AsciiDoc, BBCode are all easy to plug in). Enjoy!
