20### From Source
21Make sure you have rust and Make installed. Clone the repository, and run:
22
23```
24% make -e profile=release
25```
26
27Then copy the file somewhere in your PATH
28
29```
30% cp ./target/release/page /usr/local/bin
31```
32
33## Usage
34
35Go to the directory that contains your site and run page
36
37```
38% cd ~/projects/my_cool_page
39% page
40```
41
42It will create two directories at the parent directory, they will have the same name as the current one but appending _html and _gemini respectively.
43
44```
45% ls ~/projects
46my_cool_page/
47my_cool_page_gemini/
48my_cool_page_html/
49```
50
51These pages contain the static files ready to be uploaded with a tool like scp, rsync or however you move files.
52
53## The files.
54
55The website directory has some requirements for page to work correctly.
56
57### Gemtext
58
59Any file with ending .gmi is interpreted as gemtext and will be parsed as html with the following rules:
60
61* The first two lines are checked for front matter
62* If the first or second line starts with "--- title:", the text following will be treated as the title of the page and the line will be removed from the output.
63* If the first or second line starts with "--- description:", the text following will be treated as the description of the page and the line will be removed from the output.
64* URLs that end with the extension ".gmi" will be replaced with ".html" unless the url begins with "gemini:"
65
66Example, this could be index.gmi. The first link will be converted to html but the second won't:
67
68```
69--- title: Home
70--- description: Clemland is dedicated to all things sound
71
72# Welcome to Clemland
73
74My projects are located here:
75
76=> /projects.gmi Projects
77
78This is a good gemini page:
79
80=> gemini://r.bdr.sh/page.gmi
81```
82
83### The layout
84
85A file called _layout.html at the root of the element. It must be present. It should include the three following keywords:
86* {{ title }} will get replaced with the front matter title of the gemtext file.
87* {{ description }} will get replaced with the front matter description of the gemtext file.
88* {{ content }} will get replaced with the body of the gemtext file.
89
90For example:
91
92```
93<!DOCTYPE HTML>
94
95<html lang="en">
96 <head>
97 <meta charset="utf-8">
98 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
99 <meta name="author" content="Clem Fandango">
100 <meta name="description" content="{{ description }}">
101
102 <title>Clemland {{ title }}</title>
103
104 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css">
105 </head>
106 <body>
107 <main>
108 {{ content }}
109 </main>
110 </body>
111</html>
112```
113
114### Static files
115
116Any file that isn't gemtext or the layout will be copied as-is. This includes hidden files! The only ones that are excluded are .git and .gitignore.
