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! # Introduction
Output will be in the `output` folder. Templ is a static-site "generator" aimed at aiding the creation of multi-pages sites. It uses a jekyll-esque "Front Matter" for each page. Currently it only performs formatting on `.html` format pages. Markdown support (maybe) soon:tm:.
# Usage
Templ is designed to be fairly simple to use. Place your site's files in the directory called `source`. Files are directories beginning with `_` will be ignored by Templ.
A basic "Front Matter" for a page maybe be:
```
---
layout: default
title: Hello World
url: https://example.com
---
```
This will cause Templ to use the file `source/_layouts/default.html` for the layout (where `{{ content }}` within that file will be replaced with the page's source) and define the variables `page.title` and `page.url` (accessible via `{{ page.title }}` and `{{ page.url }}`). Templ will also read configurations from the (badly named) `source/_config.yml` file. This isn't (yet) able to store YAML. Just values separated by `: ` (space included).
Templ is usable in some circumstances but still may be sub-par for people lookint for an actual static site generator. It's also *very, very, **very*** slow!
# Using outputted content
Formatted pages will be in the `output` folder, in the same directory that Templ is called from.
# Known bugs
Not very bug tested! (Aka. don't use for prod!) Not very bug tested! (Aka. don't use for prod!)
Images break it (seems to be an issue with file reading with multiple consecutive `null` bytes? If anyone can send a PR that'd be great!)
Occasionally gets in to an infinite loop if start / end tags for things are done properly, without any sanity check. (^C to escape and check your source files). This shouldn't be too major of a bug but is just a sign of my awful code :( Sorry All.
Still lacks many necessary features that some people would like to have.
