# nicoletta

[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

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

This repo contains examples for everything :-)
