[Nicoletta ](https://github.com/ralsina/nicoletta ) is a very (very) minimalistic static site generator I wrote using Python. This repo contains a reimplementation using the [Crystal language ](https://crystal-lang.org/ ) I did in order to learn the language.

I actually wrote down a [journal ](journal.md ) while doing it, too!

## Build and Install
You can build it by running `shards build` and install it by copying `bin/nicoletta` somewhere in yout PATH. Why would you do that, I have no idea.

## Usage
2023-06-01 01:13:44 +00:00
Running `nicoletta` will:
* Read a `conf` file, which should be YAML
* Read markdown files from `posts/` which have YAML metadata on top
* Use the template `templates/post.tmpl` to turn the markdown into a HTML fragment using the post's metadata

* Use the template `templates/page.tmpl` to turn that fragment into a HTML page using the site's config
