-# UNK
-
-## a very small static site generator
-
-**UNK** is an experiment in minimalism.
-It is a templating static site generator
-with an included markup language
-that all fits with 1000 bytes.
-There are three main scripts:
-
-- **UNK**, a bash script that applies the template
-  to each page and publishes them to the output dir,
-- **LHT**, an awk script that serves as a (very) basic
-  markup language, and
-- **TM**, the default template script for **UNK**.
-
-**UNK** and **LHT** are 250 bytes each, for a total of 500 bytes.
-**TM** takes up the remaining 500 bytes
-of the target 1000 bytes.
-You are, of course, free to make the template file as large
-and involved as you like.
-
-# DETAILS
-
-## unk
-
-**UNK** takes a set of files in a directory, applies a template to them,
-and output them into another directory as HTML files ready for a server.
-To keep a very small size, **UNK** delegates most file processing to **TM**,
-the main template.  It delegates by using an idea found in
-[shab](https://github.com/zimbatm/shab):
-each input file is read as a `heredoc`, which enables
-shell interpolation.
-So the template, as opposed to the engine,
-can do all the heavy-lifting of index generation and navigation and such.
-
-Content goes into the following (hard-coded) directories:
-
-- **I/**, for written (*__i__nput*) content (the pages of the site),
-- **S/**, for ***s***tatic content (css, images, etc.), &
-- **O/**, for the (*__o__utput*) website, ready for `rsync`ing
-          to a server.
-
-If there is no **TM** in the directory where **UNK** is run,
-one will be created that will simply `cat` the file being processed.
-
-The following variables are made available to **TM**:
-
-- **FN**: the *FileName* (with directories removed)
-  of the file being processed
-- **TT**: the *TiTle* (the first line) of the file
-- **BD**: the *BoDy* (the rest) of the file
-
-as well as this function:
-
-- **X**, for *eXpand*: the `shab` stand-in.
-  It is much simpler than `shab`, and will fail if the template
-  (or if it nests templates, one of the nested ones)
-  has a `ZZ` on a line by itself, due to its `heredoc` nature.
-
-and these aliases (though they're more an artefact of saving space
-in the script, but they can be used in templates):
-
-- **c**: `cat`
-- **q**: `test`
-- **e**: `echo`
-
-As mentioned above, templates can be nested.
-Simply call another template from **TM** with the **X** function.
-
-## lht
-
-**LHT** stands for *Less HyperText*,
-because that's what you're writing when you're writing it
-(though not much less than HTML).
-Basically,
-blank lines are interpreted as `<p>` tag breaks,
-unless the previous source paragraph started with `<` and ended with `>`.
-It also has support for three inline spans:
-
-- `*em*` or `_em_` as *em*
-- `**strong**` or `__strong__` as **strong**
-- `` `code` `` as `code`.
-
-Everything else is just HTML.
-
-**LHT** was inspired, in part, by
-[Writing HTML in HTML](http://john.ankarstrom.se/html) by John Ankarstrom,
-as well as some other articles I can't think of right now.
-I liked the idea, but some tags in HTML are just annoying to write
-over and over, and take me out of the flow of writing prose.
-So I fixed those few tags.
-**The inline tags are definitely subject to change.**
-
-# Why?
-
-I was bored and decided I'd try to write a static site generator
-that could fit in a [toot] (500 characters).
-I [wrote][1] [a few][2] [of them][3],
-making them smaller and smaller each time.
-By the end, I was left with a *tiny* script
-that delegated almost *all* the work to the template file.
-That script became **UNK** in this repo.

-
-I was feeling pretty high on my horse after writing the tiny SSG,
-so I thought,
-*[maybe I could try for a tootable Markdown converter next][4]* --
-boy, was I wrong about that.
-Markdown is *way* too complicated to fit in 500 bytes.
-So I just wrote the Really Important Parts: `<p>` and some inlines.

-## Why this license?
-
-I was going to go with a stricter license like the GPL,
-but realized that
-
-1. this software isn't so important or time-consuming that I need
-   others to credit me or redistribute the project under the same terms, and
-2. the GPL is *way* too long for a project like this.
-   It's over 35 times *bigger* than the entirety of this project,
-   not counting the content or this README.
-   It would weigh down the entire undertaking.
-   The WTFPL, by contrast, is a trim 443 characters,
-   which is right in keeping with the smallness of this project.
