# shite
## what it says on the tin
`shite` shits out a site using posix `sh`, `awk`, and `cp`---that's it.
Of course, it is shite. But it'll make a site.
## use
make a site directory somewhere on your system and fill it with HTML files.
these can be just the body parts of these files---they will be enclosed with a
template, which is discussed below. you can also ignore enclosing paragraphs
with `` tags---paragraphs not starting with `<` will automatically be
enclosed with them.
when you run `shite`, it will collect all HTML files, run them through various
templates, and shit them out into the `out/` directory in the site directory.
each page will be sent through `.template.html` and into `out/PAGE/index.html`,
where `PAGE` is the filename without `.html`. Then they'll be collected into an
index using `.index.html`, and into an RSS 2.0 feed using `.feed.xml`.
`.template.html`, `index.html`, and `.feed.xml` are treated as sh `heredocs`.
that is, any `$variable`, `$(function)`, or the like will be expanded. `title`,
`body`, and `pubdate` are provided for convenience; you can define others in
`.shite.sh`. a very simple template could look like this:
```
$(title)
$(body)
```
every other file in the site directory---that is, any file or directory that
isn't an HTML or XML file---will be copied to `out/` recursively, so go nuts!
### installation
```
# make install
```
### invocation
invoking `shite` is simple:
```
$ shite [-d DOMAIN] [-C DIRECTORY]
```
`DOMAIN` is your site's domain for the feed generator; the default is
the name of the site directory. `DIRECTORY` will change the directory before
generating a site, so you can run `shite` from anywhere.
