sw

sw stands for Suckless Web-framework. As the name suggests It aims to be a minimal and sane web framework.

Features

Markdown support.
Only depends on some standard commands: 'echo', 'grep', 'ls', 'sed'...
Easy configuration.
Generating a web site is as easy as creating folders for sections and markdown files for contents.
Use your favorite cvs and editor to maintain and edit the site.
Minimalism (under 100 LOC).

Get it!

$ hg clone http://nibble.develsec.org/hg/sw

sw configuration

Configuration is done by editing sw.conf (I think the names of the variables and the comments are self-explanatory enough):

TITLE="foo.org"           # Site title
SUBTITLE=""               # Site subtitle
BL="index.md images"      # Black list
STYLE="style.css"         # Stylesheet name
MDHANDLER="/usr/local/bin/md2html.awk" # md handler

sw installation

Just run:

sudo make install

If you want to override the default prefix (/usr/local):

sudo make install PREFIX=/path/to/prefix

Example

We want to create a web site with a section called "papers" with two papers inside called "paper1" and "paper2" respectively. In this case, we should create a structure like this:

/path/to/working/directory
      +- sw.conf
      +- style.css
      +- site/
          +- index.md
          +- papers/
              +- index.md
              +- paper1.md
              +- paper2.md

And run:

sw site

The static site will be created under "site.static". The whole process can be automatized if you create a Makefile like this in your working directory:

$ cat Makefile
all:
	sw site
	rsync -avz site.static/ foo.org:/path/to/wwwroot/
clean:
	rm -rf site.static
