33### From Source
34Make sure you have rust and Make installed. Clone the repository, and run:
35
36```
37% make -e profile=release
38```
39
40Then copy the file somewhere in your PATH
41
42```
43% cp ./target/release/page /usr/local/bin
44```
45
46## Usage
47
48Go to the directory that contains your site and run page
49
50```
51% cd ~/projects/my_cool_page
52% page
53```
54
55It will create two directories at the parent directory, they will have the same name as the current one but appending _html and _gemini respectively.
56
57```
58% ls ~/projects
59my_cool_page/
60my_cool_page_gemini/
61my_cool_page_html/
62```
63
64These pages contain the static files ready to be uploaded with a tool like scp, rsync or however you move files.
65
66## The files.
67
68The website directory has some requirements for page to work correctly.
69
70### Gemtext
71
72Any file with ending .gmi is interpreted as gemtext and will be parsed as html with the following rules:
73
74* The first two lines are checked for front matter
75* 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.
76* 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.
77* URLs that end with the extension ".gmi" will be replaced with ".html" unless the url begins with "gemini:"
78
79Example, this could be index.gmi. The first link will be converted to html but the second won't:
80
81```
82--- title: Home
83--- description: Clemland is dedicated to all things sound
84
85# Welcome to Clemland
86
87My projects are located here:
88
89=> /projects.gmi Projects
90
91This is a good gemini page:
92
93=> gemini://r.bdr.sh/page.gmi
94```
95
96### The layout
97
98A file called _layout.html at the root of the element. It must be present. It should include the three following keywords:
99* {{ title }} will get replaced with the front matter title of the gemtext file.
100* {{ description }} will get replaced with the front matter description of the gemtext file.
101* {{ content }} will get replaced with the body of the gemtext file.
102
103For example:
104
105```
106<!DOCTYPE HTML>
107
108<html lang="en">
109 <head>
110 <meta charset="utf-8">
111 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
112 <meta name="author" content="Clem Fandango">
113 <meta name="description" content="{{ description }}">
114
115 <title>Clemland {{ title }}</title>
116
117 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css">
118 </head>
119 <body>
120 <main>
121 {{ content }}
122 </main>
123 </body>
124</html>
125```
126
127### Static files
128
129Any 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.
