Static Site Generator (SSG)

This is a simple static site generator that converts markdown files into HTML pages. It processes markdown content, applies a template, and generates HTML files to serve a static website.

Features

• Recursively processes markdown files from the content directory.
• Converts markdown to HTML and inserts it into a template.
• Generates HTML files in the public directory.
• Automatically serves the site on localhost:8888.

Directory Explanations

• content/: This is where you place your markdown files. You can organize them in subdirectories as needed.
• public/: This is the output directory where the generated HTML files will be stored. It is automatically created and updated by the script.
• static/: Any static assets such as images, stylesheets, or scripts go here. These files will be copied to the public/ folder during generation.
• template.html: This is the HTML template used for all pages. {{ Title }} will be replaced with the page title from your markdown and {{ Content }} with the converted markdown content.

How to Use

1. Place Your Content

Add your markdown files to the content/ directory. These files can be nested in subdirectories if desired.

2. Run the Generator

To generate the static site, run the following command:

./main.sh

This will generate HTML files from your markdown content and copy them into the public/ directory.

3. Serve the site

After running the script, the site will automatically be served at http://localhost:8888.

Notes

• You can refer to the content directory in the repository and the MD files inside it as an example.
• If there are errors during the generation process, check the console for file not found or other error messages.
