+Hi! This is a super-duper simplistic (and probably awful) system for aiding in developing many-paged websites. Essentially, all you have to do is have the "layout" in a file called `source/_layout.html` and every other `.html` file will be inserted in to where `{{ content }}` resides within said page. It can only replace once!
+
+Output will be in the `output` folder.
+
+Not very bug tested! (Aka. don't use for prod!)
