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__ 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: -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: - - - -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__: - - - -as well as this function: - - - -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* - as em
    • -
  • __strong__ - as strong
    • -
  • `code` as code
    • -
- -Everything else is just HTML. -This means that a valid `.lht` file is *almost* a valid `.md` file, -except where it nests HTML and Markdown -(so it's not really, but you can run it through Markdown in a pinch -and get the basic idea across. -This file, for example, is both `index.lht` and `README.md` -(they're just symlinked to each other), -so it's got some weirdness to keep things compatible between Markdown and LHT. -But if you're just writing for LHT, it can be much simpler.). - -__LHT__ was inspired, in part, by -Writing HTML in 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 -a few -of them, -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 -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. - -

  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.
