Title : ingsoc

Format : Markdown/HTML

ingsoc is a static site generator written in Python with the purpose of
generating raymii.org. It differs from other static site generators because it
does not create a blog-like site, but it is focused on pages and structure. It
also does not use a template engine. It generates categories, pages, tags, an
XML sitemap and a RSS feed. It takes markdown files with a yaml config header as
input, and outputs html.
I sometimes write updates on new changes in ingsoc, those articles can be found
[on this page][1].
### Usage
ingsoc requires three directories and content to work. The directory structure
can be as below:
$ tree
.
|-- ci.sh
|-- config.yml
|-- minify.py
|-- newspeak.py
|-- inc
| |-- css
| | |-- example.css
| |-- img
| | |-- example.png
| |-- js
| | |-- example.js
|-- src
| |-- software
| | |-- ingsoc.md
| | |-- Awesome_Example_Application.md
| `-- tutorials
| |-- Awesome_Tutorial_1.md
| |-- Tutorial_2.md
|-- out
| |-- everything.html
| |-- feed.xml
| |-- inc
| | |-- css
| | | |-- example.css
| | |-- img
| | | |-- example.png
| | |-- js
| | | |-- example.js
| |-- index.html
| |-- sitemap.xml
| |-- software
| | |-- ingsoc.html
| | |-- Awesome_Example_Application.html
| |-- tags
| | |-- tag1.html
| | |-- tag2.html
| | |-- tag3.html
| `-- tutorials
| |-- Awesome_Tutorial_1.html
| |-- Tutorial_2.html
`-- tests
|-- broken-link-check.py
|-- dead-link-checker.py
|-- spell-check.py
|-- w3-validate.sh
`-- words-to-ignore.txt
I have a `src` directory with my content, which is written in markdown. The
`inc` directory gets copied over to the output folder, it has the css, js,
images and other static content. The `out` folder is the folder where ingsoc
puts its generated html.
### Content
A content item is a markdown file, with a yaml header. The header looks like
this:
title: "Example Title"
author: "John Doe"
category: "software"
date: "29-06-2015"
lastupdate: "05-10-2019"
summary: "This is a great article about some stuff related to Lorum Ipsum. The summary of this article is even more awesome."
tags:
- example
- lorum
- ipsum
- tag
---
Then below the three dashes (`---`) the actual markdown content is placed. The
`category` item is what also end up in the menu. The date and summary are used
in the RSS. The summary is the only field which is not required.
There is a post generation step in which the css and generated html are
minified. The `minify: False` optional option (default is True) allows a page to
be excluded from the minification.
### Configuration
There is also a `config.yml` file. It looks like this:
title: "Awesome Website"
subtitle: "Awesome Slogan!"
rootdir: "./src"
outdir: "out"
incfolder: "./inc"
breadcrumbs: "yes"
tags: "yes"
rsstitle: "Awesome Website RSS Feed"
rssdescr: "The Awesome Website RSS feed, all about awesome stuff"
rssurl: "https://raymii.org/s/"
homepagetext: >
<h3>Welcome!</h3>
This is the <strong>most awesome site</strong> on the entire internet.
The `homepagetext` item is the raw html code which is put on the index.html
code. the `tags` and `breadcrumbs` are used to define if tags and breadcrumbs
should be generated and placed or not.
### Requirements
* python 2.7+ (fully Python 3 compatible)
* [Sundown/Misaka][2]
* dateutils
* [pyyaml][3]
The minification also requires the `cssmin` and `htmlmin.minify` modules. It is
fully threaded, minifying at least 4 pages at once.
To install them in a standard ubuntu/debian:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
and then:
sudo pip install misaka pyyaml dateutils
