This is first entry I created while working on weber.sh.
webr.shI used the text above as a placeholder while making webr.sh.
This was supposed to be test of feed generation.
I know about “lorem ipsum.”
I created webr.sh as a tool for static web sites generation.
I started from executable html file.
It started with shebang and was a shell script with html extension.
It printed top and bottom part of html file while compiling a markdown article between them.
The html extension was just for me, to have correct syntax highlighting.
Naturally script started to evolve.
My web site is hosted behind nginx, and my configuration tries to redirect to index pages before sending 404 when trying to access directory.
For example https://prussak.space/blog actually points to https://prussak.space/blog/index.html.
I like to write using markdown.
I think it is really good writing format.
I wanted to have generator that takes one directory and parses it as entire web site.
It would need to look for subdirectories and take care of all the assets.
All of this while parsing my markdown articles.
Here comes webr.sh, tool that does exactly this.
Written in bash, requires only markdown to work
Clone it here: git://git.prussak.space/webr.git
