StaticSiteGenerator

A Static Site Generator converts text from a markdown file to a html file that can be presented on a website. It achieves this by parsing the given markdown and converting it into corresponding html block. For example, a block containing an un-ordered list like the one shown

* item 1
* item 2
* item 3

Would be converted to its corresponding html block ie <ul>

<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

Requirements

• Python 3.12.x or higher

Installation

• Clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/Greeshmanth1909/StaticSiteGenerator
• The project doesn't require any external dependencies

Usage

• Once the repo is cloned, run ./main.sh. This should create a public directory in the root directory and start a local server that serves html generated from .md files in the contents directory
• The contents in the public directory can be directly hosted
• The markdown files can be linked to one another
• Static content like images should live in the static directory. Once ./main is run the program copies all contents from static to public along with html generation from contents. Hence, static content should be referenced as how they would be stored in public
• The base template for html is 'template.html'
